EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Gand" transports us back to 19th century Belgium. The print showcases the picturesque Maison des Bateliers in Ghent, a city known for its rich history and architectural beauty. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the charm of this Belgian gem. The artwork was created by an anonymous French School artist during the late 19th century. It was originally commissioned as an illustration for Dictionnaire Francais Illustre des Mots et des Choses (Illustrated French Dictionary of Words and Things) by MM Larive et Fleury, published in 1888. The scene depicted is reminiscent of a bygone era, capturing the essence of early 19th-century Ghent. The print offers a glimpse into daily life along the canals that wind through this historic city. Its inclusion in this dictionary suggests that it held cultural significance at the time. With its delicate lines and exquisite shading, this engraving exemplifies the artistry of traditional printmaking techniques. The use of black and white adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing viewers to appreciate both its historical context and artistic merit. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of Ghent's past but also how art has always been intertwined with our understanding of history.
