Ford Madox Brown painted the scene imagining Geoffrey Chaucer reading to the medieval English court. The composition recreates 14th-century pageantry with the detailed historical accuracy valued by the Pre-Raphaelites.
Brown was closely associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, sharing their commitment to vivid color and medieval subjects. His historical paintings combine scholarship with imaginative reconstruction. The work is at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney.
