EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a pivotal moment in history - the authorization of the First Crusade by Pope Urban II in 1095. The miniature artwork, housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, depicts Pope Urban II appealing to Clermont for assistance in liberating the Holy Land of Jerusalem.
The image is rich with historical significance, showcasing the beginning of a series of military campaigns that would shape the course of European and Middle Eastern history. The crusades were not only religiously motivated but also had political and economic implications, as different powers vied for control over key territories.
Pope Urban II's call to arms marked a turning point in medieval Europe, inspiring thousands to take up arms and embark on a dangerous journey towards Jerusalem. The colorful details and intricate design of this miniature painting bring to life the fervor and passion that characterized this tumultuous period.
