EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching, titled "Lierre, Le Beguinage," transports us to a quaint French town circa 1921. The print captures the charm of a narrow, colorful lane, flanked by charming buildings with intricate architectural details. At the heart of this picturesque scene lies a beguinage, a unique complex created to house laywomen. Beguines were unmarried women who chose to live together in community, dedicating their lives to religious pursuits and charitable works. The beguinage in this print is depicted as a tranquil oasis, with its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roofs blending harmoniously with the surrounding buildings. The etching, part of the August Martin van der Loo collection from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of this historic and spiritual community. The intricate details of the buildings, the vibrant colors, and the sense of peace and serenity conveyed in the print make it a captivating addition to any collection. This etching, from Volume 15, August of the Women Collection, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the lives of the women who once called the beguinage home. It is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of France and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of European architecture and tradition.
