titled
image: The empty Grande Place at Courtrai in Belgium, at dusk. To the left of the composition stands an imposing church
tower casting its shadow over the cobbled place. It is viewed from the front and towards the top a sundial is set into the facade. The
whole is crowned with three conical turrets, the central one being a bell-tower. On either side of the building stand two small shade trees
in autumnal colours. Slightly further away towards the right is the Hotel de Ville, its facing facade cast in shadow, the remaining side
lit by the evening sun. To the immediate right of the composition a town house faces the church and its white facade catches the sun. The
evening sky with its many scudding clouds emits a pale light. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | 01/3(4-15) Religion Architecture | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Bertin | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
