Artist's Comments

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 :-

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)

Being an aspiring digital painter/artist, I am seriously impressed with this piece. I love that you didn't resort to fantasy and that you were able to make a really epic piece from history. Awesome.
