EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the side of City Hall (Hotel de Ville-Stadhuis) in Brussels, Belgium. The focal point of this architectural marvel is the awe-inspiring 'Tour inimitable', which stands tall and proud against the backdrop of the Grand Place. Dating back to the Late Gothic period, this magnificent building showcases intricate craftsmanship that transports us to a bygone era. Its architectural elements are a testament to Europe's rich history, spanning across the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph was taken around 1965, offering us a glimpse into the past while preserving its timeless beauty. The artwork itself dates back even further, originating between 1402 and 1454. It is attributed to renowned artists such as Van Thienen, Jacob; Van Ruysbroeck, Jan; and Van Rode, Marten. Every aspect of this image tells a story - from the two light windows that bathe the scene in soft illumination to the gracefully arched columns that lend an air of elegance. The tower reaches towards the heavens with its delicate cusps and spires adorned with sculptures and low reliefs. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of architecture frozen in time through photography, it serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create enduring works of art. This print invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance.
