EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Universal Images Group, we are transported back to the intense and historic combat between two legendary figures - Richard I, Coeur de Lion or Lionheart, and Saladin. The image captures a pivotal moment during the Crusade of 1191, specifically the Third Crusade. On the left side stands Richard I, known for his bravery and chivalry as King of England from 1189. Clad in formidable armor that reflects his status as a Christian monarch, he exudes an aura of determination and strength. Facing him is Saladin, also referred to as Sal al-Din al-Ayyubu, renowned for his military prowess and leadership in Islam. The encaustic tiles showcased in this print were created around 1250-1260 at Chertsey Abbey in Surrey. These intricate tiles serve as a testament to both British craftsmanship and religious devotion during medieval times. This image symbolizes not only a clash between two powerful individuals but also represents larger conflicts between Christianity and Islam during this tumultuous period. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics that shaped history while highlighting moments when religion played a significant role on the battlefield. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable photograph print by UIG (Universal Images Group), they are invited to reflect on these historical events that continue to resonate with us today.
