EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the Turkish forces preparing for battle outside the formidable walls of Rhodes in 1480. The image is taken from "A History of the Siege of Rhodes" by Guillaume Caoursin, an esteemed Vice-Chancellor of the Order of Hospitalers of St. John of Jerusalem. The scene depicted on this vellum manuscript showcases a fortified citadel with knights from the Order of St. John standing strong against an impending attack. The composition beautifully portrays an encampment filled with tents and battlements, as soldiers lay siege to this walled city. The illuminated artwork by Master of Cardinal de Bourbon adds depth and vibrancy to this historical depiction. It highlights both Christian and Islamic armies engaged in a fierce struggle for conquest, symbolizing the clash between two powerful civilizations. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to a time when military might was at its peak. The tension is palpable as infantry troops armed with crossbows prepare for battle while their leaders strategize within their camp. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also acts as a gateway into understanding medieval warfare and religious conflicts that shaped our world today. It stands as a testament to human resilience and determination amidst turbulent times.
