EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Belfry, built 1282-96" in all its majestic glory. Standing tall and proud in Bruges, Belgium, this architectural masterpiece is a symbol of civic pride that has withstood the test of time. Originally constructed to replace a wooden belfry that tragically burned down in 1240, The Belfry's octagonal upper portion was added between 1482 and 1487. Its impressive height of 83 meters makes it an unmistakable landmark on the main square of Bruges. The Netherlandish School artist, Paul Maeyaert, skillfully captures the intricate details and grandeur of this Gothic bell tower. From its leaning structure to the meticulously designed pinnacle, every element is brought to life through Maeyaert's lens. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to the 13th century when craftsmanship and architectural prowess were at their peak. The old covered market surrounding The Belfry adds an extra layer of historical significance to this already remarkable structure. "The Belfry" serves as a reminder not only of Bruges' rich history but also as a testament to human resilience and determination. It stands as a timeless representation of Belgian heritage and continues to inspire awe among locals and visitors alike. In capturing this iconic image without commercial intent or use restrictions, Paul Maeyaert allows us all to appreciate the beauty and cultural significance held within "The Belfry. "
