EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illuminated manuscript page, created by the Master of Fauvel between 1314 and 1340, depicts the pivotal moment of the Siege of Jaffa in 1101, as chronicled in the French chanson de geste "Li rommans de Godefroy de Buillon et de Salehadin." The scene unfolds with a sense of dramatic intensity, as Crusader knights, led by the legendary Longinus, charge towards the city walls, their lances held high and shields bearing the Cross of Christ. The defenders of Jaffa, under the command of Saladin, prepare for battle, their bows taut and arrows nocked, their faces set in determined resolve. The Master of Fauvel expertly employs gouache on parchment to bring this epic moment to life, with intricate details and a rich palette that evoke the grandeur and heroism of the Crusades. This illuminated manuscript, now housed in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, is a testament to the enduring power of medieval art to capture history and inspire awe.
