EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century color engraving by Gustave Dore depicts the legendary figure of Saladin the Magnificent, also known as King Saladin. Born in 1138 and passing away in 1193, Salah al Din Yusuf al-Ayyubi was a revered commander who led the Muslim forces against the crusades. The print is taken from "History of the Crusades" by Joseph-Francois Michaud, showcasing Dore's exceptional talent for capturing historical moments. In this artwork, Saladin stands as a symbol of strength and resilience. Clad in armor and mounted on his horse, he exudes an air of authority and determination. His piercing gaze reflects both wisdom and unwavering commitment to his cause. Saladin's triumphs during the Third Crusade (1189-1192) are well-documented, making him an iconic figure not only within Islamic history but also in global military history. This portrait serves as a testament to his leadership skills and strategic brilliance. The vibrant colors used by Dore bring life to this historical scene while paying homage to the Middle Ages when these events took place. The engraving captures every intricate detail with precision, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this significant moment from centuries ago. Stefano Bianchetti's private collection preserves this remarkable piece of art that showcases not just religious or cultural significance but also highlights humanity's capacity for courage and perseverance amidst challenging times.
