EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-A-004672-0033" transports us back in time to the enchanting Royal Square in Brussels. The focal point of this historical masterpiece is the magnificent equestrian monument dedicated to Godfrey of Bouillon, skillfully crafted by the talented artist Eugenio Simonis. The photograph was taken around 1880-1890, capturing a moment that echoes with medieval history and grandeur. As our eyes wander across the image, we are drawn to the regal figure atop his noble steed. Godfrey of Bouillon's presence exudes power and authority as he sits proudly on horseback, adorned in traditional attire befitting his status. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold and crease in his clothing tells a story of its own. This portrait not only showcases fashion and clothing from that era but also serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of Simonis. Intriguingly, we notice a standard or banner held high beside Godfrey—a symbol representing his affiliation with the Crusades. It serves as a reminder of his significant role during those tumultuous times. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing composition, it becomes evident that this photograph holds immense historical value. It encapsulates an era when chivalry reigned supreme and knights embarked on valiant quests for honor and glory. N. D. Phot has expertly captured this timeless scene through their lens, preserving it for generations to come. This remarkable piece allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in Belgium's rich heritage while marveling at both man and beast—the epitome of strength united.
