"The Byzantine Emperor Welcoming Roussillon and Martel" by Loyset Li矇det, c 1467-1472. Here the Byzantine emperor rides out of Constantinople, surrounded by members of his court. The emperor appears again in the background at right, welcoming Girart de Roussillon and Charles Martel, who in the 800s assisted the Emperor of Constantinople in his battles with the Saracens. When Loyset Li矇det painted this miniature in the 1400s, the subject was topical, given the recent Turkish capture of Constantinople in 1453. It recalled the Saracen invasions and prompted calls for European crusaders to rescue the city.
