EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print showcases the powerful figure of Saladin Yusuf, a prominent Sultan during the Second Crusade. Created by Gustave Dore in 1877 as part of the Bibliotheque des Croisades collection, this illustration captures the essence of Saladin's triumph and defiance. Mounted on horseback with his sword raised high, Saladin appears triumphant as he confronts his enemies. The detailed engraving highlights every line and contour of his regal armor, emphasizing his strength and authority. Behind him, a defeated Moor lies slain on the ground, symbolizing Saladin's prowess in battle. The composition exudes an atmosphere of intensity and determination. The artist skillfully portrays both the gracefulness of Saladin's horse and the ferocity in his eyes. This portrayal evokes admiration for Saladin's military skills while also showcasing his unwavering commitment to defending Muslim lands against Crusaders. The print not only serves as a historical document but also offers insight into medieval warfare tactics and attire. It provides viewers with a glimpse into this significant period in history when conflicts between Christians and Muslims shaped entire nations. Ken Welsh's Fine Art Finder has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection for art enthusiasts to appreciate its artistic value while delving into history through visual storytelling.
