In this episode of Canonball we discuss "The Life Of Saint Louis," which Jean de Joinville completed in 1309.
The cover art for this episode is a painting titled Louis IX that Émile Signol completed in 1844.
The other painting I mentioned is Saint Louis Mediating Between the King of England and His Barons which Georges Rouget completed in 1820 and can be found here.
