About the piece

Painted in 1840, John Rogers Herbert’s work captures a romanticized moment of medieval hospitality. Noble figures on horseback, dressed in rich reds and golds, pause their hunt to accept drinks from a stoic monk at the arched stone entrance of Saint Augustine's Monastery in Canterbury.
