EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Beguinage in Courtray, 1844" takes us back to the picturesque streets of Belgium in the 19th century. Painted by Philippe Auguste de Peellaert, this watercolor on paper piece measures 11.8x18.9 cm and is now housed at the Groeningemuseum in Bruges. The image showcases a beguinage nestled within the charming city of Courtray (Kortrijk). The beguinages were unique communities where devout women lived together without taking formal religious vows. These peaceful havens provided solace and support for these independent-minded females. In this scene, we see rows of quaint houses surrounding a beautiful church with stunning Flemish architecture. The exteriors are meticulously detailed, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship that was prevalent during that time period. The artist's brushstrokes perfectly capture the essence of West Flanders' beauty and charm. As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported to a different era - one filled with tranquility and simplicity. This artwork not only serves as a window into Belgian history but also highlights Europe's rich cultural heritage. It offers us an enchanting view of a cityscape frozen in time – an invaluable treasure preserved for generations to come.
