King Sigurd I the Crusader,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodcut print created by the renowned English artist, Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones in 1862, presents a mesmerizing allegory of the legendary Norwegian king and his involvement in the Crusades. The image, now part of a private collection, is a testament to Burne-Jones' mastery of the Pre-Raphaelite style and his ability to merge history, mythology, and literature into a visually stunning work of art. Burne-Jones' "King Sigurd I the Crusader" depicts the monarch, Sigurd I Magnusson, clad in full armor, mounted on a majestic horse, and leading his troops into battle. The scene is set against a backdrop of a turbulent sea, symbolizing the uncertain and perilous journey of the Crusades. The king's gaze is fixed on the horizon, reflecting his unwavering determination and courage. The woodcut print is a visual representation of the historical account of King Sigurd I's participation in the First Crusade, which took place between 1096 and 1099. The king, who ruled Norway from 1103 to 1130, is said to have joined the Crusade in response to a vision he received from the Archangel Michael. This vision urged him to lead his people to the Holy Land to aid in the liberation of Jerusalem from the control of the Seljuk Turks. Burne-Jones' "King Sigurd I the Crusader" is a powerful and evocative work of art that transcends time and captivates the viewer with its intricate details, rich symbolism, and profound storytelling. The print's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us to a bygone era, allowing us to witness the courage and determination of a legendary king and his crusaders as they embarked on their historic journey.
