About the piece
Created around 1610, this work by the Flemish master Anthony van Dyck is a tour de force of emotional intensity and light. Using a dark, atmospheric palette, Van Dyck focuses the composition on the central encounter, illuminated by a flickering torch that casts deep shadows and brilliant highlights across the turbulent crowd in the wooded landscape.
