EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the epic battle scene depicted in Gustave Wappers' oil on canvas masterpiece, "The Defence of Rhodes". The painting showcases the valiant efforts of Foulques de Villaret, the 24th Grand Master of the Order of Saint-Jean-de-Jerusalem, as he leads his knights against Sultan Osman I and his Ottoman Empire forces. Measuring an impressive 320x560 cm, this artwork adorns the walls of Château de Versailles in France. It portrays a pivotal moment during a holy war between Christians and Muslims in medieval times. The image transports us to a bustling port city under siege, with soldiers fiercely defending their gate against an onslaught from enemy warriors. Wappers skillfully brings to life every detail - from the determined expressions on each knight's face to the chaos unfolding around them. This historical event serves as a testament to courage, resilience, and unwavering faith. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by these medieval warriors but also of our shared history and its impact on shaping our present world. It is through art like this that we can appreciate both the beauty and significance found within historical narratives.
