EDITORS COMMENTS
Seventh Crusade (1248): Louis IX Disembarking in North Africa This enchanting engraving depicts a pivotal moment in the Seventh Crusade, as King Louis IX of France, also known as Saint Louis, sets foot on North African soil in 1248. The image is taken from "Nouvel abrégé chronologique de l'Histoire de France" by Adrien Richer, published in Barcelona in 1767. The scene is set against a backdrop of a clear, sunlit day. King Louis, dressed in royal attire, is shown disembarking from a large ship, surrounded by his soldiers and knights. The crusaders' determination and focus are palpable as they prepare to conquer the land and reclaim the Holy Land from the Saracens. The engraving, held in the Barcelona University Library, captures the grandeur and majesty of the medieval period. The intricate details of the ships, the armor of the crusaders, and the rocky North African shoreline are all rendered with exquisite precision. Louis IX's participation in the Seventh Crusade marked the beginning of a new phase in the Crusades, as he led his troops with a renewed sense of purpose and piety. Despite the eventual failure of the crusade, Louis's leadership and commitment to the cause earned him a lasting place in history. This engraving is a testament to the rich historical and artistic heritage of Europe, and a reminder of the courage and determination of those who embarked on the Crusades in search of religious and political glory.
