Year: 19th Century Material: Oil Size: 104 x 127 cm Description: Oil painting on canvas from the 19th century by the German painter G. Otti. The painting is called "Der Niebelunge Liet", a scene that probably represents the wedding of Attila and the German princess Ildikó. The historical core of many songs tells us about the destruction of the kingdom of Burgundy around the city of Worms, caused by the Roman commander Flavius ​​Aëtius and his Hunsian conspirators in 436. This story probably also includes the conflict at the Merovingian court between Brünnhilde and Queen Fredegund (after 575) together with the story of Attila and the German princess Ildíko's wedding in 453. H - 104 cm and B - 127 cm. Dimensions without frame: H - 77 cm and W - 100 cm.
