13th Chronicle Crusade Crusades Day Light Geneva Guillaume University Antiochia Up Right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the siege of Antiochia during the First Crusade (1095-1099), a pivotal moment in European history. The city of Antiochia, located in modern-day Turkey, was a key target for the Crusaders seeking to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim rule. In this evocative print, the city's imposing walls and towers loom large against the clear blue sky, while the Crusader army, led by Bohemond of Taranto, prepares for battle below. The intricate details of the Gothic architecture and the dynamic composition of the scene transport us back to the 13th century, as depicted in this vertical, color print from a medieval chronicle. The use of natural daylight and vibrant colors adds depth and texture to the image, making it a stunning addition to any historical collection or academic research. This print, housed in a public university library in Geneva, Switzerland, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Crusades and the rich artistic traditions of the Middle Ages.
