About the piece
Painted in 1890, Albrecht De Vriendt's work depicts the Hanseatic League receiving its privileges in 1453. The painting is a study in historical realism, featuring meticulous renderings of period costume, heraldic shields, and architectural woodcarving that lend an air of gravity and scholarly tradition to any space.
