About the piece
This 1889 painting by Albrecht De Vriendt portrays the historical figure Jan Borluut in meticulous medieval regalia. Set against a radiant gold ground, the knight is shown with a standard and a heater shield bearing his family's heraldic stags, capturing the romanticized historical spirit of the 19th-century Belgian school.
