EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event in history. The scene depicts St. Bernard of Clairvaux preaching the Second Crusade in Vezelay on March 31,1146. The renowned preacher stands before a vast crowd, his voice resonating with passion and conviction as he implores them to take up arms for the holy cause. Surrounded by royalty and dignitaries, King Louis VII and Queen Alienor of Aquitaine listen intently to St. Bernard's words, their faces reflecting both awe and determination. Abbe Suger, known for his influential role in French politics and religious affairs, also graces the gathering. The atmosphere is charged with fervor as people from all walks of life gather under the shadow of the magnificent Vezelay Abbey. The intricate details captured by Emile Signol's masterful engraving bring this historical moment to life - from the expressions on each individual's face to the ornate crosses adorning their garments. This image serves as a powerful reminder of faith's ability to unite nations and inspire great movements throughout history. It encapsulates an era defined by religious zeal and devotion while offering us a glimpse into one man's impassioned plea for action. As we gaze upon this print today, we cannot help but be moved by its timeless message: that even amidst tumultuous times, there is always hope for unity and redemption through shared beliefs and noble causes.
