About the piece
Painted around 1660 by Dutch artist Willem Schellinks, this work is a powerful example of atmospheric historical drama. The composition uses a sophisticated play of light, contrasting the warm, destructive glow of the fire against the cool twilight sky and dark, roiling smoke to capture a moment of high tension.
