EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ruins on the Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium, 1695" takes us back in time to a devastating moment in history. The image captures the aftermath of a fierce bombardment that occurred on August 15th, 1695. The once magnificent Grand Place in Brussels now lies in ruins as a result of this destructive event. The photographer Quint Lox skillfully portrays the sheer devastation and desolation that befell this grand city. The crumbling buildings and debris scattered across the square serve as haunting reminders of the horrors of warfare. It is impossible not to feel a sense of awe and sadness when gazing upon this fifth picture from Richard Van Orley's collection. The ruins depicted here tell a story of resilience and strength amidst destruction. Despite facing such adversity, one can still see glimpses of the grandeur that once defined this place. This photograph serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. As we contemplate this image, we are reminded of how fragile our cities can be in times of conflict. It prompts us to reflect on the importance of peace and unity among nations. Quint Lox's work allows us to bear witness to history while also appreciating the beauty found even within ruinous landscapes
