EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the 13th century, where an Old Testament battle scene unfolds with a unique twist. Depicting the combatants as 13th century French warriors, this French manuscript illumination from c1250 breathes life into the biblical tale of Joshua capturing Hai. At the heart of the image stands Joshua, adorned in a resplendent gold helmet that signifies his leadership. With lance in hand and mounted on a majestic horse, he leads his men towards victory against their enemies. The city of Hai lies before them, its fortified walls no match for their determination. As we delve deeper into this historical moment frozen in time, our attention is drawn to a grim sight - the captured king of Hai hanging lifelessly from a gibbet. This dramatic detail reminds us of the brutal realities faced by those who dared oppose Joshua's divine mission. The meticulous handwriting surrounding this medieval masterpiece adds an air of authenticity and reverence to its portrayal. It serves as a testament not only to artistic skill but also to religious devotion during this era. Through combining elements of warfare, religion, and history, this print offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into both medieval Europe and ancient biblical times.
