EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print depicts a distant view of Antwerp, the second-largest city in Belgium, as it may have appeared around the year 1700. The image, held by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a historical window into the past, offering a glimpse of the city's architectural and urban development during this period. Antwerp, located in the northern part of modern-day Belgium, was a thriving center of commerce and culture during the 16th and 17th centuries. The city's strategic location at the confluence of the Scheldt River and the North Sea made it a vital trading hub, attracting merchants from across Europe. This prosperity is reflected in the grandeur of the buildings visible in the print, including the impressive cathedral of Our Lady, with its distinctive red brick tower, and the imposing city walls, which protected Antwerp from external threats. The print also reveals the intricate network of canals and waterways that crisscrossed the city, facilitating the transportation of goods and contributing to Antwerp's reputation as the "Venice of the North." The bustling port, nestled at the heart of the city, is hinted at in the print by the numerous ships anchored in the river. Despite the city's wealth and prosperity, the 17th century was not without its challenges. Antwerp experienced a series of conflicts, including the Eighty Years' War for Dutch independence and the subsequent siege by Spanish forces. These events left their mark on the city, shaping its history and identity in profound ways. Today, Antwerp is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city, renowned for its rich history, stunning architecture, and thriving arts scene. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the city's storied past and its enduring allure.
