EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the Sultan of Egypt and Syria, Saladin, supervising the siege of Jerusalem in 1187. The French manuscript illumination from the 15th century beautifully depicts this intense scene. Saladin, a revered hero and skilled warrior, stands on the left side of the image with an air of authority as he watches over his men. The exterior wall of Jerusalem is under attack by Saladin's forces, who are determined to reclaim this holy city from the Crusaders. The medieval fortification is depicted with intricate detail, highlighting its strength and significance in this battle for control. Amidst the chaos and violence surrounding them, knights armed with pikes engage in fierce sword fights while others wield axes to breach the walls. A tent nearby serves as a command center where strategies are devised to overcome their adversaries. Saladin's presence exudes leadership and determination as he oversees every aspect of this critical siege. His armor signifies his status as a formidable Muslim leader fighting for Palestine against foreign invaders. This remarkable artwork not only showcases an important historical event but also serves as a testament to Saladin's legacy as one of North Africa's greatest warriors. It reminds us of his unwavering commitment to defending his land and people against all odds during one of history's most significant battles - the Battle of Jerusalem in 1187.
