෴❤️෴ ෴❤️෴Frank Dicksee (1853~1928), ~The Two Crowns~ 1900, oil on canvas, Tate Britain. In The Two Crowns, Dicksee portrays an English medieval prince returning home in triumph on a white horse decorated with three feathers. Wearing a golden crown, he gazes up at a crucifix, Christ’s crown of thorns contrasting starkly with the jeweled headpiece and opulent armor of the prince. Although surrounded by admiring onlookers, the prince is transfixed by the sight of this representation of Christ, a vivid reminder of the lack of importance of temporal power and riches. -- source link
