About the piece

The composition highlights the intricate stonework and rose window of the facade, while the foreground is animated by a medieval cortège of knights and figures in ceremonial dress. Roberts' atmospheric handling of light and shadow lends the scene a sense of historic weight and dramatic scale, making it a centerpiece for any collection.
