Ms 490, Folio 63r: A Gothic Masterpiece Depicting the Legendary Encounter of Ogier the Dane's Armies This stunning miniature painting, taken from Ms 490, Folio 63r, showcases a pivotal moment in the legend of Ogier the Dane (Ogier le Danois), a legendary character of the 8th century. The scene portrays the encounter of two armies, a testament to the epic battles that defined this legendary figure's tale.

The grouping of people, each with distinct expressions and actions, creates a sense of tension and excitement. Ms 490, Folio 63r, is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the artistic mastery of the Gothic era. This masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and the rich history it represents.
