Description
English: The story tells of a reluctant bride who is hunted and slaughtered by the knight she has rejected, and then suffers the same fate each week as a ghost. The painter uses native umbrella pines to frame the characters in this human hunt. The fading blue mountains in the distance reveal the recent innovation of aerial perspective, introduced to Florence by Leonardo da Vinci.
