Tableau vivant met het huwelijk van Jacobus II van Schotland met Maria van Gelre-Egmond in 1449 1642

This etching by Pieter Nolpe, created in 1642, depicts the wedding of James II of Scotland and Mary of Guelders-Egmond in 1449. The scene is set in a grand interior space with a central figure of a bishop, presumably officiating the ceremony. Surrounding the couple and the clergy are numerous guests, all meticulously rendered in detail. The scene conveys the grandeur and ceremony of the occasion, offering a glimpse into the historical event through the lens of 17th-century artistic interpretation. This artwork, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, provides a valuable visual documentation of a significant moment in Scottish history.
