The tension is palpable as Becket, clad in his clerical robes, stands defiantly before the king, who appears both frustrated and determined. This historical event from 1163 marked a turning point in the relationship between church and state, with Becket's unwavering stance leading to tragic consequences.
The image beautifully encapsulates the power struggle between two formidable figures, each representing conflicting interests of crown and church. Becket's commitment to upholding the autonomy of the church against royal interference is evident in his impassioned expression and gestures.
