She seems to be indicating toward the future Anglo-Saxon king Alfred the Great (848/49\u201399) she has just married. Alfred holds a transparent veil above Ealhswith and is about to drape this over his wife so she is covered but still visible to the people. Why Perger chose to paint this scene from ancient English history is not known. He must, however, have been acquainted with John Fitchett\u2019s epic poem King Alfred, which was first published in instalments between 1804 and 1834."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Oil on wood"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":["https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/9025/full"]},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"The Wedding of King Alfred the Great of England"},"classification":{"label":"Genre","value":"Painting"},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/9025/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"1835"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"10594803"},"iiifManifest":{"value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-10046/manifest"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"56 × 72,5 cm"}}]}
