A Scene of Horror and Desperation
The design captures the essence of van Haarlem's dramatic vision. The composition features a whirlwind of figures locked in desperate struggle.

Emotional Impact and Historical Resonance
The artwork's power lies in its unflinching portrayal of violence and suffering.
