I don't have a favorite as of yet, but I do love looking at all the different iterations of Catholic art to gain a look of how the culture and influence of the artist's environment is shown through the artwork. Seeing things like the clothes and armor in high detail that archeology can't show is why I love these.

I'm particularly very curious on this artwork "The Betrothal of the Virgin" (1420-1430) by Robert Campin for a multitude of reasons and I hope somebody here can educate me on it.
For one, the priest on the right has swastikas on his robe. Was this a common symbol for Christians at the time or is it meant to represent something in particular?
Two, are we able to assign a locality for the fashion or environment in the painting? I'm curious as to the fashion of two individuals on the left: they look Arabic to me. Am I correct in that assumption? I wonder if this painting is influenced from Spain and if this is a potential depiction of Mozarabs or Moriscos.
