Girart de Roussillon converted by his wife Ameline 

Luc-Oliver Merson's "Girart de Roussillon converted by his wife Ameline" is a striking depiction of a scene from the medieval French epic poem "Girart de Roussillon." The work portrays the titular knight Girart, a powerful warrior who has renounced Christianity for paganism, being urged by his wife Ameline to return to the faith. Merson, known for his historical and religious subjects, utilizes a rich and detailed style to capture the drama and emotion of the moment, employing a palette of muted tones to create a sense of somber intensity.
