EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the intricate details of the skylights and stepped gables in the medieval town of Furnes (Veurne), Belgium. The image transports us back in time to the 16th century, where we can appreciate the ornate stone carvings and honeycomb design that adorn the facade of this historic building. The stepped gables, a characteristic feature of Flemish architecture, add a sense of depth and dimension to the elevation. The gables are adorned with intricate shell designs, which are a common motif in Flemish architecture, symbolizing the connection between the earth and the heavens. The skylights, with their honeycomb pattern, allow natural light to filter in, illuminating the interior of the building. The pillars and columns, also visible in the photograph, add to the structural integrity and grandeur of the building. This photograph is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Furnes and Belgium as a whole. The intricate details of the skylights and stepped gables are a reminder of the craftsmanship and artistry that went into building these structures during the Middle Ages. The photograph, taken over a century ago, continues to capture the essence of this beautiful town and its architectural treasures, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical images.
