About the piece
Painted by Albrecht De Vriendt in 1896, this masterful work captures the pageantry and gravity of the first chapter meeting of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The composition is rich with late-Gothic architectural details, heraldic emblems, and meticulously rendered liturgical garments in crimson and gold, reflecting the Belgian artist's skill in historical reconstruction.
