EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the intense Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212. The print, dating back to the 13th century, captures a pivotal moment in history when Christian kingdoms clashed with Muslim forces on the Western Iberian Peninsula. The scene is filled with tension as Al-Andalus' Almohads face off against King Alphonse VIII's Christian army. Banners flutter in the wind, symbolizing allegiance and determination. Soldiers clad in military clothing engage in a fierce confrontation, swords raised high. The aftermath of this monumental battle is evident as fallen soldiers lie motionless on the ground. Their sacrifice serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to their respective causes. This rare photo print, part of a private collection by Santiago Ortega, offers us a glimpse into an era defined by territorial disputes and power struggles. It reminds us of Spain's rich history and its enduring legacy shaped by countless military actions like this one. As we admire this horizontal composition, we are transported back to an era known as the Middle Ages – an age characterized by conflict but also cultural exchange between different civilizations. Let this image serve as a reminder of our shared past and how it continues to shape our present-day world.
