Here's a piece I started about a year ago but never got the chance to finish it until now.

Its my own depiction of the Battle of Cresson which happened just before Saladin's victory at Hattin in 1187 during his campaign against the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem.

The knight in focus is the Grandmaster of the Templars, Gerard de Ridefort, who was one of only a few that survived the battle.

If you're interested you can read about the battle here :-

Cheers!

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-12-27
Springs of Cresson by ~wraithdt is an astounding painting full of life, emotions, and a wonderful perspective. The details and movement really bring out the action in this scene! ( Suggested by `krissi001 and Featured by `cosmosue )

Amazing I admire a person who loves art at the same has a tremendous interest in History.

You are a person to be remembered by your art and your love for the past.
