About the piece

Painted in 1866, Henri de Braekeleer’s 'The Chapel of Grace in Antwerp' is a masterclass in light and texture. The work focuses on the weathered brickwork and elegant window tracery of the chapel, beautifully contrasted by the humble presence of laundry drying in a sunlit courtyard.
