EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, showcasing the magnificent Stadhuis of Middelburg. From J. R. Green's renowned book "A Short History of the English People" published in 1893, this lithograph captures the essence of Flemish Renaissance architecture. The Stadhuis, or Town Hall, was a true masterpiece built between 1561 and 1565 by Loys du Foys and Nicolo Scarini. Its grandeur is evident in every detail; from the intricate Gothic design to its towering clock and bell tower that proudly overlooks the town square. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to an era where daily life unfolded against this stunning backdrop. The relief sculptures adorning its facade hint at stories untold, while townspeople go about their business on bustling streets below. This remarkable piece not only showcases architectural brilliance but also offers a glimpse into medieval Belgium's rich history. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity during a transformative period for Europe. Preserved within a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate both artistry and historical significance simultaneously. Let it serve as a reminder of our shared heritage and inspire curiosity about those who came before us.
