EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures the historic moment of Bernard of Clairvaux preaching the Second Crusade in Vezelay, France, in 1146. Created by Emile Signol and part of a private collection, this image showcases the power and influence of religion during the Middle Ages. Bernard of Clairvaux, a prominent figure in Christianity, is depicted passionately delivering his sermon to a crowd gathered at Vezelay. The scene exudes an aura of fervor and determination as he calls upon Christians to take up arms and join the holy crusade. The wooden cross held high above him symbolizes their commitment to reclaiming Jerusalem from Muslim control. The lithograph itself is based on an illustration from Albrecht Wirth's book "Im Wandel der Jahrtausende" published around 1910. It beautifully captures the essence of this significant historical event while showcasing Signol's artistic talent. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness one of the pivotal moments that shaped medieval Europe.
