EDITORS COMMENTS
View of Grand Place in Brussels, with the Hotel de Ville-Standhuis. The photograph was taken just before the German occupation. This print transports us back in time to a moment frozen in history. It captures the breathtaking beauty of the Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium, showcasing its architectural marvels and rich heritage. Standing tall amidst this grandeur is the iconic Hotel de Ville-Standhuis, an exquisite example of Late Gothic and Gothic architecture that dates back to the Middle Ages. The image offers a glimpse into life during World War I, as it was captured between 1914-1918 when tensions were rising across Europe. The city's vibrant energy is juxtaposed against an impending darkness brought by war. Every detail within this frame tells a story - from the intricate window designs to the ornate building elements that adorn each structure. The spire and bell tower rise majestically above, while an open gallery invites exploration into administrative spaces below. As we immerse ourselves in this panoramic view of Brussels' central square or piazza, we can almost hear echoes of bustling activity from centuries past. This historic site has witnessed countless events throughout its existence – shaping not only local but also European history over first and second millennium A. D. Although attributed to unidentified authors such as Van Thienen, Jacob; Van Ruysbroeck, Jan; Van Rode Marten – their collective vision allows us to appreciate their artistic prowess even without specific names attached. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of our shared human experience through time – reminding us that even amid conflict and uncertainty, beauty endures.
