EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is a testament to the rich artistic and historical legacy of the 18th century. It is an etching from Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's illustration for Johann Christoph Mayer's "History of the Crusades," published in 1781. The image depicts a scene from the Second Crusade, featuring prominent figures of the time such as Bernard of Clairvaux, Bernardo Pignatelli, and King Louis VII of France. Bernard of Clairvaux, a prominent Catholic Churchman and abbot, is shown delivering a fiery sermon to the assembled crusaders, urging them to embark on their holy mission. King Louis VII, dressed in royal regalia, sits atop his horse, listening intently to the clergyman's words. The crusaders, dressed in armor and carrying their weapons, are shown in various stages of preparation for their journey. The black and white contrast of the etching adds to the dramatic effect of the scene, highlighting the intricate details of the figures and their clothing. The image is a powerful depiction of the European cultural and religious heritage of the time, as well as the concept of the crusades as a significant moment in world history. This work by Chodowiecki is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, showcasing the artistic skill and historical significance of the 18th century. The image is reminiscent of the European artistic tradition, with influences from both the German and French schools of the time. It is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or the cultural heritage of Europe and Christianity.
