Een muzikale zondagmiddag: Louis Van Engelen, 1887 - De Paepe, Timothy 1981-; Caremans, Clement; Museum Vleeshuis | Klank van de Stad (Antwerp, Belgium) (Schoten BAI, 2021)
Antwerp, 1887. A Sunday afternoon. A group of artistic friends - among them the composer Peter Benoit and the painter Charles Mertens - meet on the Left Bank, at Café Belvédère. A guitarist plays a song while the sun shines and beer flows copiously. This is the setting of “Zondagmiddag op Sint-Anneke”, one of the finest paintings by Louis Van Engelen (1856-1940).
This volume is based on a lecture given at the concert on the occasion of the loan of ‘Zondagmiddag op Sint-Anneke’ to the Museum Vleeshuis on February 12, 2020.
