About the piece

Painted by Albrecht De Vriendt in 1889, this oil on canvas depicts Baldwin II of Flanders as a noble figure in a simple hooded habit. The work's medieval revival aesthetic is enhanced by the flat gold background and the detailed rendering of the sitter's mace and sword, creating a powerful, icon-like presence.
