This print showcases Boatlift no. 4 on the old Canal du Centre in Thieu, Belgium. The image beautifully captures the essence of this historic site, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1998. These four hydraulic lifts are not only remarkable industrial monuments but also serve as a well-preserved example of a 19th-century industrial landscape. The photograph portrays the grandeur and architectural brilliance of this engineering marvel from the past. With its long exposure technique, Frans Sellies has managed to capture every intricate detail of this industrial equipment against a stunning backdrop. The reflection on the calm water adds an element of serenity to the scene while emphasizing the magnitude and importance of transportation through canals during that era. As dusk settles in and night approaches, the sky takes on hues of deep blues and purples, creating a dramatic atmosphere around this famous place. The cast iron structures stand tall against this twilight canvas, evoking nostalgia for an era marked by innovation and progress – the Industrial Revolution. Frans Sellies' photography skillfully encapsulates both historical significance and aesthetic beauty in one frame. This print serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to appreciate these magnificent feats that have shaped our world today.
