"Taking of Jerusalem by the Crusaders, 15th July 1099" is a monumental oil painting by French artist Emile Signol, completed in 1847. The artwork, measuring an impressive 5.6 by 9.7 meters, is housed in the Hall of the Crusades in the Palace of Versailles. Signol's painting is a dramatic and vivid representation of the historical event during the First Crusade when the Crusaders breached the walls of Jerusalem and captured the city from its Fatimid defenders.

The painting is notable for its historical significance and its reflection of the 19th-century Romantic fascination with medieval history and the Crusades. Signol, a student of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, was known for his historical and religious paintings. In this work, he captures the intensity and fervor of the Crusaders as they enter Jerusalem, juxtaposing their zeal with the despair of the city's inhabitants. The composition is rich in detail and characterized by its use of dramatic lighting, which emphasizes the emotional and tumultuous nature of the scene.

"Taking of Jerusalem by the Crusaders, 15th July 1099" is considered an important work in Signol's oeuvre and in the genre of historical painting. It reflects the 19th-century European interest in the exotic and the religious, as well as the period's approach to depicting historical events with grandeur and pathos. The painting remains an evocative portrayal of one of the pivotal moments in the history of the Crusades and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance.
