Inhaltsangabe

With classicist Patrick De Rynck as your guide, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Antwerp no longer holds any secrets for you. The author takes you through the eventful history of the cathedral and tells about the Iconoclasm, the Calvinist purge and the art theft in the French period. In short, fluently written chapters, flavored with illuminating frameworks and surprising anecdotes, he lets you relive the past. This beautifully illustrated publication conveys the cathedral's story not only in words, but also and above all in images. These are always interpreted historically and cultural-historically and fit seamlessly with the text. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Antwerp is one of the largest living monuments in the Low Countries. It has been a house of God for centuries, but also houses masterpieces from art history, including a number of beautiful paintings by Peter Paul Rubens. This book, published in the well-known Ludion tradition, is the ideal companion for a visit to the cathedral. And a nice souvenir too.
