The image captures an engraving from the 19th-century book "Histoire de France" by Guizot, showcasing the French School's artistic prowess. In this scene, we witness a pivotal moment as Adalbert, also known as Adalberon, boldly challenges Hugues Capet's claim to the throne. The intensity and tension are palpable through the intricate details and masterful composition of this artwork. The artist Leonard de Selva skillfully brings forth the essence of medieval France with his use of light and shadow.
