For the fiftieth anniversary of Belgian independence, de Vriendt and other artists drew on events from the glorious past to forge a distinctive heritage and cultural identity for the fledgling nation. Here de Vriendt evokes the splendor of chivalric rites, setting a precedent of protocol for the new monarchy. Amid the lavish trappings of the princely household, Philip the Handsome (1478\u20131506) theatrically bestows the Order of the Golden Fleece on his one-year-old son, Charles (1500\u20131558), who later became Europe\u2019s most powerful ruler as the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. The order was founded in Bruges in 1430 to defend Roman Catholicism and strengthen bonds of allegiance and brotherhood among knights. In addition to his virtuoso rendering of the court\u2019s embroidered and bejeweled finery, de Vriendt achieves a sensitivity of facial expression\u2014particularly in the seemingly confused face of the infant Charles.Object metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum object record for the latest information.
