As the sun casts its golden rays upon the bridge, it illuminates the rich history that lies beneath its surface.

Louis I de Bourbon stands tall in another captivating painting; he was not only a Huguenot leader but also an esteemed general who fought valiantly on behalf of Protestantism during turbulent times in 16th-century France.
