EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense Battle of the Crusaders and pagan troops near the ancient city of Aleppo. The image is a miniature from the Recueil des histoires de Troyes, an illuminated manuscript dating back to around 1464. It was skillfully designed by a priest serving under Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. In this remarkable depiction, we witness a dramatic clash between Christian crusaders and their pagan adversaries during the 11th and 12th centuries. The scene is filled with vibrant colors that bring to life the chaos and violence of war in medieval times. The fortified walls of Aleppo provide a backdrop for this epic confrontation, symbolizing both strength and resistance. Soldiers donning military clothing from different regions, including Italy and Piamonte, engage in fierce combat while proudly displaying crosses as symbols of their faith. As history unfolds before our eyes within this miniature masterpiece, it reminds us of the religious fervor that fueled these conflicts in pursuit of control over sacred lands. This visual narrative serves as a testament to both human determination and religious devotion during an era known for its turbulent clashes between East and West. Preserved at the National Library, this invaluable piece offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in world history – one where religion played a central role in shaping political alliances and defining cultural identities. Santiago Ortega's meticulous capture allows us to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also gain insight into significant historical events that continue to shape our present-day understanding.
