About the piece
Painted in 1876 by Willem Geets, this powerful work captures the intense drama of the exorcism of Joanna of Castile. The artist masterfully contrasts the rich, luminous textures of the priest's ceremonial cope against the deep shadows and somber figures of the surrounding monks, creating a scene of profound gravity and historical intrigue typical of late 19th-century academic art.
