About the piece
Painted by François Duchatel in 1668, this masterful work depicts the investiture of Charles II as Count of Flanders. The composition elegantly balances the immense crowd gathered in Ghent's Vrijdagmarkt with the soaring architectural detail of a ceremonial arch, all set beneath a vast and atmospheric sky typical of the Flemish tradition.
