EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment from the Second Crusade, specifically the siege of Ascalon in 1153. The artwork is a miniature taken from "Les passages faits Outremer par les Francais contre les Turks et autres Sarrazins et Moures Outremarine" by Sebastien Mamerot, dating back to 1490. The image depicts Baudouin III (1131-1162), a prominent figure during the crusades, leading his army in battle against the Turks and Saracens. The scene captures the intensity and chaos of warfare with its intricate details and vibrant colors. In this particular view, we see Baudouin III's military camp set up outside Ascalon, an ancient city located in present-day Israel. Tents dotting the landscape indicate that this was a temporary base for strategizing and regrouping before launching an attack on the fortified city walls. The artist skillfully portrays both sides engaged in combat; soldiers can be seen wielding weapons while others defend their positions within Ascalon's defenses. This illustration provides us with valuable insights into medieval military tactics and weaponry used during this period. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most significant conflicts - the Second Crusade - highlighting not only its military aspects but also shedding light on societal dynamics between different cultures at that time.
