EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Two Templars on one horse" takes us back to the 13th century and immerses us in the world of medieval knights. Created by Matthew Paris, a renowned artist of his time, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image depicts two brave Templar knights riding together on a single horse. Clad in their distinctive armor and adorned with the iconic red cross symbolizing their order, these warriors exude strength and determination. Their faces are hidden behind visored helmets, adding an air of mystery to their identities. As we delve into the historical context surrounding this artwork, we are reminded of the significant role played by the Knights Templar during the Crusades. These noble warriors dedicated themselves to protecting Christian pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem and defending holy sites from Muslim forces. Paris's watercolor technique brings life to this scene on parchment paper, capturing every intricate brushstroke with precision. The composition is reminiscent of book art from that era when illuminated manuscripts were treasured possessions. Now housed within Corpus Christi College Cambridge's collection, this masterpiece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It allows us a glimpse into an extraordinary period in history when chivalry reigned supreme and knightly orders like the Templars shaped Europe's destiny through their unwavering devotion.
