About This Book

A concise historical and antiquarian guide to Belgium’s principal towns that explains why settlements formed at particular sites, traces their social and political development, and examines how local history produced distinctive architecture, sculpture, painting, and minor arts. The work treats churches, civic buildings, galleries, and public monuments in roughly historical order, interprets symbolic and devotional elements, and links form and decoration to origin and purpose. It deliberately avoids practical travel minutiae and passing amusements, aiming instead to furnish cultured travellers with contextual explanation that illuminates the artistic and structural evolution of each city’s chief sights.
