EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a historical moment during the First Crusade, depicting the meeting between Eastern Emperor Alexis Comnene and Peter the Hermit in Constantinople. Painted by Gillot Saint Evre in 1839, this artwork measures 0.98 x 1.36 meters and is housed in the Chateau Museum at Versailles. In this scene, we witness an important encounter that took place in August 1096. Peter the Hermit, known for his fervent preaching of the Crusade, has traveled to Constantinople to exhort Emperor Alexis Comnene to join their cause. The painting beautifully portrays the emperor receiving Peter with great attention and respect. This image not only showcases significant historical figures but also provides insights into various aspects of medieval life and culture. It highlights themes such as religion, empire, politics, and warfare that were central to the First Crusade. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous brushwork and use of vibrant colors. The composition effectively captures both the grandeur of imperial surroundings and the humility of religious devotion. Displayed at Musee et Domaine National de Versailles et de Trianon in Versailles, France, this artwork serves as a reminder of a pivotal moment in Christian history when Western Europe sought to reclaim Jerusalem from Muslim control. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by © Photo Josse, viewers can appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also gain a deeper understanding of medieval society's complex dynamics during one of history's most influential events -the First Crusade.
