Saladin Retakes Jerusalem

“Outside the Jaffa Gate, October 2, 1187. Saladin enters the city after Balian's surrender. Foreground shows green banners and a procession of mailed Mamluks; midground reveals Christian families filing out toward Tyre with mules and bundles; the Holy Sepulchre's dome rises beyond the walls under a quiet autumn sky.”
