The Marriage of the Virgin

Niederländische Malerei 1445–1530, c. 1513

This is a painting of a scene depicting a ceremonial event with architectural features in the background. The painting shows a gathering of people in elaborate and colorful garments. The central woman, clad in a long blue dress with a golden crown over her long blonde hair, is holding hands with a man on the right in a red-pink robe. An ornate building with arched and intricate elements serves as a backdrop. The architectural design includes columns and intricate stonework under a bright blue sky. On either side are more people dressed in a mix of robes, all looking at the central couple.
