EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we witness a knight's solemn moment of prayer before embarking on the arduous journey of the Second Crusade in 1146. The artist Deghouy masterfully captures the essence of devotion and faith that characterized these medieval warriors. Dressed in his magnificent armor and surcoat adorned with vibrant colors, the knight kneels humbly with his hands clasped together in prayer. His horse stands patiently beside him, bearing witness to this sacred ritual. A banner flutters proudly behind them, displaying their allegiance to France and Christianity. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as the knight prepares himself mentally and spiritually for the challenges ahead. His shield rests against his side, engraved with symbols representing his loyalty to God and country. The sword by his side serves as a reminder of the impending warfare he will face. Surrounded by fellow soldiers also engaged in their own prayers, this image speaks volumes about camaraderie and shared purpose among these crusaders. It transports us back to a time when men were willing to sacrifice everything for their beliefs. Through intricate engravings and attention to detail, Deghouy brings history alive within this print from La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles. It reminds us of an era defined by religious fervor, chivalry, and unwavering dedication to one's cause - qualities that continue to resonate even today.
