EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of the "Naval Battle of Episkopi in 1323" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Painted by Auguste Etienne Francois Mayer in 1841, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 111x149 cm and is housed at the Château de Versailles in France. The scene depicted showcases the Order of St. John of Jerusalem's triumph over the Turkish fleet during the Crusades. Gerard des Pins, Lieutenant Grand Master from 1317-32, can be seen commanding the French fleet with great determination and strategic prowess. This historic battle took place off the coast of Episkopi, where Sultan Orhan Gazi led his Ottoman forces against the defenders of Rhodes - The Hospitalers. The painting beautifully captures both sides engaged in fierce combat amidst a turbulent Mediterranean Sea. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into an era filled with bravery and valor. Sailing boats and ships fill every inch of canvas as soldiers fight relentlessly for their cause. It serves as a reminder of the holy war that raged during medieval times and pays homage to those who fought gallantly for their beliefs. Mayer's attention to detail brings life to each stroke on canvas, creating an immersive experience for viewers.
