Within the Heart of the Medieval/Renaissance Enthusiast, there exists a special, almost sacred bond between the Ladies and the Chivalry. The idea of Courtly Love is at the heart of this bond. There is an unspoken promise of Courtesy and Kindness and Love, Honor and Valour and Protection. In each of these paintings, the artist has captured the sense of longing that the maidens feel for their love, the sense of Awe and gratitude the knights feel for their fair one. Unto all ladies, the True Chivalric Knight gives respect and honor. Unto all Chivalry, the True Lady does likewise.
