EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The City of Brussels, from the entrance of the Foret de Soigne, with the Barrier" takes us back to 19th century Belgium. The artist, James Rouse, skillfully captures a picturesque scene that showcases both natural beauty and urban development. In the foreground, we see a soldier standing by a windmill and city walls. A donkey peacefully grazes nearby while horses elegantly trot along a path. Soldiers can be seen in the distance, adding an element of military presence to this tranquil setting. As our gaze moves towards the background, we are greeted by the magnificent sight of Brussels itself. The cityscape is dotted with buildings and rooftops that stretch as far as the eye can see. This bustling metropolis is framed by lush greenery from Foret de Soigne – providing a stark contrast between nature's serenity and man-made progress. This print not only offers us a glimpse into historical Brussels but also serves as a reminder of Belgium's significance within Europe. As one of the Benelux countries and now an integral part of European Union (EU), it symbolizes unity among nations. With its attention to detail and vibrant colours brought forth through meticulous engraving techniques, this artwork truly stands out in any collection or exhibition space. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in its rich history while appreciating Rouse's artistic talent for capturing moments frozen in time.
