About the piece
Created in 1885 by Georg Sturm, this painting illustrates Bishop Bernulphus of Utrecht, a medieval historical figure celebrated for his patronage of the arts. The scene captures a quiet moment of intellectual and creative labor within a Romanesque hall, featuring monks holding illuminated manuscripts and an architect drafting plans with a compass. The work is framed by an integral decorative floral border typical of Sturm's ornamental mural designs for public buildings.
