About the piece
Painted in 1630 by Dirck van Delen, this oil on panel is a masterful study of architectural perspective. It depicts the historical event known as the Beeldenstorm, showing figures dismantling religious icons within a vast, light-filled Gothic cathedral. The work beautifully balances the soaring, silent geometry of the church architecture with the dynamic, focused energy of the figures in the foreground.
