摘要：The theme of the siege of a city is depicted with a certain frequency in frescoes and above all in miniatures or illustrated cartoons of a manuscript. It seems to obey rather precise figurative conventions. It generally deals with environmental portrayals simultaneously (for that which is frequently illustrated in biblical facts or the classicism or the tradition of chivalry) with battles in front of the walls with numerous variants. Less attention is paid to the reality of the city under siege and the reaction of the citizens. We also perceive that around the end of the fourteenth century, greater attention was paid to the “courteous” and chivalrous dimension.
