"Funeral of Godfrey of Bouillon (c.1060-1100) in Jerusalem, 23rd July 1100" is a historical painting completed in 1838 by French artist Édouard (François Berthélemy Michel) Cibot. The artwork captures the solemnity of the funeral of Godfrey of Bouillon, a prominent leader of the First Crusade and the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, albeit with the title of Advocate (Protector) of the Holy Sepulchre rather than king. The painting reflects the romantic fascination with medieval history and chivalric ideals that was prevalent in 19th-century European art.

Cibot's composition is a dramatic and poignant portrayal of the final homage paid to Godfrey, who died on July 18, 1100, shortly after his successful siege of Jerusalem in 1099. The painting is significant for its historical subject matter, as it depicts a key moment in the Crusader narrative and the establishment of Christian rule in the Holy Land. The artist's attention to detail in the depiction of the figures, their attire, and the somber ambiance of the funeral setting, all contribute to the work's historical authenticity and emotional impact.

The painting is a testament to Cibot's skill in historical genre painting, a style that sought to represent scenes from history with narrative and emotional depth. "Funeral of Godfrey of Bouillon" is notable for its meticulous rendering of the period's costumes and architecture, as well as its evocative portrayal of the collective mourning of the Crusaders and the local Christian population. The work serves as an example of the 19th-century European art movement's engagement with the medieval past and the romanticization of its heroes and events.

Édouard Cibot, born in 1799 and passing away in 1877, was an accomplished painter of his time, having studied under renowned artists such as Pierre-Narcisse Guérin and Antoine-Jean Gros. His oeuvre includes a variety of subjects, but he is particularly remembered for his historical and religious scenes, of which "Funeral of Godfrey of Bouillon" is a prime example. The painting remains an important cultural artifact, reflecting both the historical fascination of its era and the enduring legacy of the Crusades in Western memory.
