Bruges, Ghent, ANtwerp and other Flemish Art cities
Bruges, Ghent, and Antwerp: the Flemish art cities beckon you to immerse yourself in a world where the past and present intertwine in a dazzling manner.
Begin with Bruges, a medieval city frozen in time, where canals weave through cobbled streets. Its rich history dates back to the 9th century, and every corner echoes a tale. Did you know that in the 15th century, Bruges earned the moniker "The Venice of the North" due to its thriving canal network? Ghent, on the other hand, is a living tapestry of history and art. Witness to significant events since its Gallo-Roman origins, it holds a captivating anecdote: in 1500, Emperor Charles V was born here, marking the inception of a era of prosperity and influence. Ghent's medieval alleys lead to artistic treasures, including the Van Eyck brothers' "Mystic Lamb" altarpiece. Then there's Antwerp, the pulsating heart of commerce since the Middle Ages. Antwerp's port established the city as an international crossroads, shaping its cosmopolitan identity. An intriguing tidbit: Antwerp was the residence of Antoine van Dyck, the renowned portraitist of the 17th century. The city's artworks showcase an unparalleled artistic spirit. However, our journey doesn't conclude there. Beyond these three iconic destinations, we extend an invitation to explore other Flemish treasures. Leuven with its one of Europe's oldest universities (1425), Mechelen, with its imposing cathedral and the Royal Manufacturers De Wit, world famous for restoring valuable tapestries by hand; Lier, with its famous Jubilee Clock; or Tournai, boasting remarkable architecture, complete the Flemish tableau. Other cities available on demand. |
