Palais des Beaux Arts , Brussels, Belgium, EUR
M. Balat, architect(s). From the American Architect and Building News, November 28, 1891. 12.75 by 8.75 inches. VG+ condition with browning around the edges and light crinkling.
Gelatine Print. This is an original gelatine on fiber based paper. The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium is one of the most famous museums in Belgium. The main building which now houses the Museum of Ancient Art was built as the Palais des Beaux-Arts, designed by Belgian architect Alphonse Balat and funded by King Leopold II. Balat was the king's principle architect, and this was one part of the king's vast building program for Belgium. The building was completed in 1887, and stands as an example of the Beaux-Arts architectureuse of themed statuary to assert the identity and meaning of the building. This picture is extremely hard to find. The American Architect and Building News had a very small circulation during this time and these original gelatines only appeared in a very limited number of issues. It measures 12.75 by 8.75 inches. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole picture measures approximately 15.5 by 11.5 inches (with border). Extraordinary detail in this early photographic print. Shrink wrapped.
