Oil on panel

On the night of 19 November 1421 - the feast day of Saint Elizabeth - much
of Holland was flooded. The Dordrecht region was badly hit: 23 villages
were submerged and 2,000 people died. The survivors later had an altarpiece
made. The outer panels depict the disaster, with the breach of the dike on
the right and the undamaged town of Dordrecht on the left. Rijksmuseum
