The Most Macabre Painting in Art History
In 1672, the De Witt brothers were beaten, mutilated, and hanged before a crowd. It is even said that the people themselves committed an act of cannibalism with their severed body parts.
Painter Jan de Baen captured this horrifying scene in an impressive way in the painting "The Corpses of the De Witt Brothers" (1672). Without a doubt, this painting stands as one of the most macabre in the history of art.
In this video, I’ll tell you why the Dutch committed this atrocity and analyze this disturbing painting.
