EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Grote Markt, Antwerp, Belgium,' is a stunning representation of Europe's rich architectural heritage between 1904 and 1938, captured by the skilled lens of American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image portrays the grand Grote Markt, or the main square, of Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium. The square is a vibrant and bustling scene filled with people, houses, and architectural features that speak to the city's history and charm. At the center of the square stands the iconic Silvius Brabo statue and fountain by Jef Lambeaux. The statue depicts Silvus Brabo, the legendary hero of Antwerp, who is said to have slain a giant and thrown his hand into the Scheldt River as a challenge to any other giants. The fountain behind the statue is a beautiful addition to the scene, with its intricate design and ornate gables. Behind the statue, the In Den Vos house can be seen, its gabled facade adding to the overall architectural grandeur of the square. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, captures the essence of an era long past, transporting us back in time to a Europe filled with history, culture, and beauty. This photograph is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe collection held by the Library of Congress, a testament to the photographer's dedication to documenting the world around him. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of European travel views, architectural photography, or historical records. Whether you're an art enthusiast, historian, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this photograph is sure to captivate and inspire.
