EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving captures a momentous scene from the Middle Ages, depicting the Angel of Victory leading the armies of the first crusade as they march towards Jerusalem in the Holy Land. Created in the 19th century but set in the 11th century, this image showcases an exquisite illustration technique that brings to life this historical war event. In this etching by Gustave Doré, we witness a luminous angel guiding and inspiring Christian knights adorned in suits of armor, brandishing swords with unwavering determination. The vertical composition emphasizes their progress on their sacred mission under divine guidance. The artwork beautifully encapsulates both religious fervor and military invasion as Catholicism intertwines with medieval warfare. It symbolizes not only a significant conflict but also represents concepts such as leadership, success, and faith. As we delve into history's past through this old-fashioned print, it transports us to an era where chivalry and honor were paramount. The presence of Templers among other soldiers highlights various ranks within the army united for a common cause. Duncan1890's print serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's enduring quest for victory while exploring themes of religion, people's devotion, and historical events that shaped our world.
