About the piece
This 1850 oil painting by Charles de Groux, titled 'The Expulsion,' is a powerful example of Belgian social realism. It depicts a family forced from their home, their belongings bundled as they step into an uncertain future amidst a backdrop of dilapidated buildings, rendered in a somber, atmospheric palette that emphasizes their plight.
