The fairgrounds are teeming with activity as merchants and visitors engage in lively exchanges amidst colorful stalls and tents. This snapshot into the past offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of life during the Middle Ages. The illumination techniques employed by unknown artisans bring forth a stunning display of light and color, enhancing every intricate detail within this masterpiece.
