About the piece

Painted in 1882 by Piet Verhaert, this atmospheric work depicts the historic Vleeshuis (Butcher Hall) and the surrounding cobblestone streets of Antwerp. The scene captures a quiet moment of daily life, with local figures gathered in a sun-dappled courtyard against the backdrop of imposing Gothic-style architecture. Verhaert’s masterful use of warm, earthy tones and textured brushwork brings a timeless old-world charm to this detailed urban landscape.
