"Knights in Search of the Holy Grail"
Bottom
"Knights in Search of the Holy Grail", by Pisanello (Northwest Wall). The scene of the knights’ departure in search of the Grail continues on this wall. The fairy-tale landscape appears again. Among the mountains, numerous animals, and rich vegetation, the most complete figure of a knight stands out in the centre: it is Malies de l’Espine, as can still be read in the Gothic inscription.
