About the piece
Created in 1885 by Georg Sturm, this refined composition captures a pivotal moment in Northern European history with Symbolist grace. The central figure of Saint Willibrord, luminous in white, commands the scene against the earthy tones of the gathered Frisian tribesmen, all rendered with meticulous academic detail and a serene, steady atmosphere.
