This woodcut, "The Cruelties of Bibars" by Gustave Doré, depicts a scene of carnage and violence. The image depicts a group of people gathered around a large pile of skulls, their expressions grim and horrified. The scene is set in a courtyard, with a minaret visible in the background. The artist captures the brutality of Bibars, a Mamluk Sultan who is said to have killed thousands of Christian knights in Antioch. The scene is both disturbing and powerful, and it serves as a reminder of the horrors of war. Doré's use of detail and shading creates a realistic and haunting effect.
