EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Pope Urban II presides over the Council of Clermont in France, circa 1095. The image showcases the influential pope, who reigned from 1088 to 1099, passionately preaching the First Crusade to an audience of knights, noblemen, and cardinals. Illuminated by Sebastien Mamerot around 1490 for "Le Passage faits outremer. . . (Journeys to Palestine. . . )" this manuscript serves as a testament to the religious fervor that fueled these holy wars. The composition exudes power and authority as Pope Urban II stands at the forefront, delivering his sermon with conviction. His presence commands attention while symbolizing the significant role religion played during this era. Assembled before him are knights adorned in armor and noblemen dressed in regal attire, all eagerly listening to his words. This image not only offers a glimpse into medieval religious practices but also sheds light on historical events that shaped Europe's relationship with Islam and Palestine. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this remarkable piece of artistry serves as a visual time capsule transporting us back centuries ago. As we reflect upon this photograph print captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), it reminds us of the enduring impact religion has had on shaping our world throughout history – both for better or worse.
