How can medieval art explain Jerusalem's centrality in the world faiths of Christianity and Islam? This book delves into that topic by examining how Jerusalem was creatively represented and reimagined in several intriguing Christian and Islamic artworks in the later Middle Ages (c. 1187 to 1356).
The book considers how European Catholic crusaders, Eastern Christian sects, and diverse Muslim factions displayed Jerusalem's architecture to express their interpretation of the holy city's sanctity and influence. These examples demonstrate how artworks can reflect Jerusalem's importance to these faiths in the past and illuminate our understanding of its status into the modern era.
