EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ms 828 f. 189r Council of Acre and the Siege of Damascus, Second Crusade" takes us back in time to a significant historical event. The image captures a momentous gathering at the Council of Acre during the Second Crusade, as depicted by William of Tyre in his renowned manuscript, Histoire d'Outre-Mer. The scene is filled with an array of notable figures who played crucial roles during this period. Among them are Conrad III of Germany, Otto Bishop of Freising, and Baldwin III of Jerusalem. These distinguished individuals can be seen seated together within the city walls while knights on horseback patrol outside. The attention to detail in this vellum illustration is remarkable; it showcases an army ready for battle with troops armed and prepared for action. The crowns worn by some participants symbolize their authority and power within this historic context. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to Acre in c. 1280 when these events unfolded. It serves as a visual testament to the grandeur and complexity surrounding medieval conflicts like the Siege of Damascus. With its rich historical significance and artistic beauty captured on vellum by William of Tyre himself, this image offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal moment that shaped our world today.
