EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history, as depicted by the talented artist Matthew Paris. The scene captures the intense atmosphere of the 13th century during the Crusades, specifically illustrating Saladin's triumphant capture of the Holy Cross. Paris skillfully brings this significant event to life through his intricate details and masterful use of watercolor on parchment. The medieval setting is beautifully portrayed with its gothic architecture and knights clad in armor, evoking a sense of chivalry and honor. The illuminated manuscript adds an extra layer of richness to this historical artwork, showcasing both artistic talent and religious devotion. Saladin, known for his military prowess and leadership among Saracens, stands tall as he claims victory over Guy of Lusignan and his fellow crusaders. This pivotal battle at Hattin forever altered the course of history. Preserved within Corpus Christi College Cambridge's collection, this print offers us a glimpse into a time when religion played a central role in shaping political conflicts. It serves as a reminder of our shared past while also highlighting the importance of understanding different cultures and perspectives.
