About this work

This painting depicts a scene of a crusade, with a group of people gathered around a central figure. The central figure is dressed in a red robe and appears to be addressing the crowd. The background of the painting is dark, with shades of brown and black dominating the color palette. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama in the scene, with the central figure standing out against the dark background. The overall mood of the painting is one of intensity and passion, with the central figure's words seeming to stir the emotions of the crowd. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
