🇧🇪 Belgium’s Medieval Town of Ghent in This Photographic Print
There is a particular magic to the great medieval cities of northern Europe in the evening — a quality of light and atmosphere that belongs to the hour after the day visitors have gone home and before the night has fully settled in, when the ancient stone of the guild houses and the cathedral towers catches the last warmth of the fading sky and the still waters of the canals begin to reflect the first lights of the city with a clarity and a beauty that makes the whole scene feel like something from another century, another world. Ghent is one of the finest of these cities — a place of extraordinary, layered, medieval beauty that sits at the confluence of the Leie and Scheldt rivers in the heart of Flanders, its skyline dominated by the great towers of Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, Saint Nicholas’ Church, and the Belfry, its waterfront lined with the magnificent guild houses of the Graslei and Korenlei that have stood at the edge of the canal since the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. On a 2018 European road trip, an evening was spent here — and the city delivered everything that a photographer could hope for: amazing architecture, extraordinary atmosphere, the warm glow of the evening light on the ancient stone, and the perfect stillness of the canal water reflecting the whole magnificent scene in a composition of remarkable beauty and emotional depth. This photography print captures that evening in Ghent with extraordinary fidelity — a piece of wall art that brings the full, warm, atmospheric beauty of one of Europe’s greatest medieval cities into any room, and a home decor statement and artwork that is bold, romantic, and deeply evocative of the extraordinary architectural heritage of Flanders.
