EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illuminated manuscript page, created by the Master of Fauvel around 1337, depicts a pivotal moment in the Siege of Damascus during the Second Crusade in July 1148. The Crusaders, led by Godfrey of Bouillon and Saladin, are shown in intense battle, each side determined to claim victory. In the foreground, a knight, possibly Longinus, pierces the eye of an enemy soldier with his lance, symbolizing the brutal and relentless nature of medieval warfare. The intricate gothic details and vibrant colors used in the illumination highlight the passion and devotion of the Crusaders, as well as the grandeur and complexity of the medieval world. The Master of Fauvel's skillful use of gouache on parchment creates a sense of depth and realism, transporting us back to the Middle Ages and the epic clash of knights and armies. This illuminated manuscript page is a testament to the rich history of the Crusades and the enduring legacy of medieval art.
