EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching, titled 'The Market, Ghent' by Jules de Bruycker, captures the vibrant energy and bustling activity of a market day in the historic city of Ghent, northwest Belgium, circa 1916. The image is filled with the rich colors and textures of the market scene, as people of all ages and backgrounds browse the wares of the stalls, haggling with merchants over prices and selecting fresh produce and handmade goods. The market spills out from the narrow streets, creating a lively and chaotic scene, with children playing and vendors calling out to potential customers. The market is situated just outside an impressive ecclesiastical building, its tall spire reaching towards the sky, serving as a backdrop to the market scene. The juxtaposition of the religious and the secular, the sacred and the profane, adds depth and intrigue to the image. This etching was published in a color magazine, Volume 9, September, of the prestigious March of the Women Collection, showcasing the beauty and diversity of everyday life in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. The detail and skill of Jules de Bruycker's etching technique bring the market to life, transporting the viewer to the heart of this bustling Belgian city and offering a glimpse into the past.
