Painted on vellum and delicately mounted on wood, this 12th-century masterpiece by the French School is housed in Vannes Cathedral, France. The image captures the essence of medieval times, with knights clad in shining armor astride their majestic horses. Their determined expressions hint at the impending battle they are about to face. The marriage theme adds an intriguing layer of symbolism, perhaps representing the sacrifices made by these brave warriors for love and honor. Every brushstroke brings life to this extraordinary scene - from the meticulously painted horses exuding strength and grace to the detailed rendering of each soldier's attire.
