The Troubadour: A Medieval Singer and Poet Plays Lute and Sings Love Songs at the Court of a Noblewoman
Recommended materials
This is how it could look
Romantic and elegant medieval troubadour scene. The troubadour: a slim, handsome young man, elegantly dressed in bright colours — a particoloured doublet or tunic, tight hose, pointed shoes (poulaines), and a feathered hat. He is kneeling on one knee or standing gracefully, playing a beautiful lute — a pear-shaped stringed instrument. He is singing a Minnelied (courtly love song) — his expression is passionate and romantic. The audience: a noblewoman seated on an ornate chair, surrounded by her ladies-in-waiting, in an elegant castle hall or garden. The noblewoman listens with a slight smile, perhaps holding a rose. A chivalric setting: tapestries on the walls, stained glass windows, a garden with roses in the background. Perhaps a small audience of courtiers watching.
