You see a medieval battle scene with knights and horses. The story behind this image is interesting - it's part of a book that's like a romance novel, but it's actually about the life of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. This book was unique because it used printed images to tell the story. Check out more art at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
