EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, a revered Christian preacher, delivers a powerful sermon to rally support for the Second Crusade. The scene unfolds in Vezelay, Burgundy on March 31st, 1146, with King Louis VII and Queen Alienor of Aquitaine alongside Abbe Suger in attendance. Painted by Emile Signol in 1840, this masterpiece measures an impressive 3.14 x 2.34 meters and is housed at the Museum of Versailles. In this remarkable artwork, Saint Bernard stands before a mesmerized crowd as he passionately speaks about the importance of embarking on another holy war against non-believers. His words echo through the air as he holds up a cross symbolizing their faith and commitment to reclaiming Jerusalem. The painting beautifully captures the atmosphere of that pivotal moment in history – from the expressions on King Louis VII's and Queen Alienor's faces to the rapt attention of those gathered around Saint Bernard. It serves as a testament to both religious fervor and political alliances during medieval times. As we gaze upon this stunning piece of art, we are transported back centuries into an era defined by crusades and religious devotion. It reminds us not only of our shared history but also how art can capture significant moments that shape our world today.
