EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Quentin Matsys Well, a treasured landmark in the heart of Antwerp, Belgium. The well, located near the front of the Cathedral of Our Lady, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of this historic city and its most renowned son, Quentin Matsys (1466-1529). Quentin Matsys, an artist in the Flemish tradition and a founder of the Antwerp school, is said to have designed the intricately ornate wrought iron covering of the well. The well's legend adds an air of mystery and intrigue to its already impressive presence. The photograph, taken circa 1909, showcases the well in all its glory, with children sitting at its base, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to the scene. The ironwork, adorned with intricate patterns and motifs, shines in the sunlight, reflecting the artistic mastery of its creator. Matsys, a prominent figure in the Flemish art scene, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the human form with remarkable accuracy and emotion. His influence can be seen in the ornate design of the well, which showcases the same level of craftsmanship and artistic flair that defined his paintings. The Quentin Matsys Well is a must-see attraction for visitors to Antwerp, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history and artistic legacy. This photograph serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring impact of Quentin Matsys and the Flemish artistic tradition on the city and its people.
