About Artwork: (1828 or later) "The subject is drawn from Sir Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe (1820), in which the knight Templar Brian de Bois-Guilbert, together with his enslaved Muslim warrior and the Jewish heroine Rebecca, escape from the burning Torquilstone Castle. This painting is a reduced variant of one completed in 1828 and exhibited at the Salon of 1831 (Wallace Collection, London). The eclectic mix of types, medieval themes, and dramatic action was a mainstay of Romanticism: a later rendition of this subject by Cogniet’s contemporary Eugène Delacroix is also in The Met’s collection (03.30)." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
