Wedding Ceremony

This tapestry (15th c.), part of the Human Redemption cycle, depicts a richly costumed wedding ceremony. It highlights the moral and spiritual dimension of earthly unions within the broader theme of salvation history. The work exemplifies Flemish mastery of narrative weaving, blending allegory with vivid detail and ornamental millefleurs backgrounds.
