About the Item
This original engraving titled "'t Huys van Niel" (also known as "Praetorium de Niele") depicts a historic building located in the province of Antwerp, Belgium. This copperplate engraving is part of the series from "Groot werreldlyk tooneel des hertogdoms van Braband" (translated: "Castles in the Duchy of Brabant"), a work by Jakob Le Roy, which was published between 1690 and 1730.
Description of the Image
The engraving illustrates a large, prominent building with characteristic stepped gables and a steep roof, typical of Flemish architecture from the late medieval and early modern periods. The scene includes:
- Architecture: The building is substantial, suggesting it served a significant function, possibly as a manorial residence or a seat of local government (hence the name "Praetorium," which indicates an official residence or judicial building).
- Setting: The surrounding area shows other smaller buildings, a fence, and some trees, indicating a semi-rural setting with clear demarcations of property. There are also figures engaged in daily activities, such as farming or maintaining the grounds, adding to the liveliness of the scene.
Historical and Artistic Context
Jakob Le Roy (1633-1719), a Flemish historian and theologian, was known for documenting and illustrating the notable buildings and landscapes of the Duchy of Brabant. The engravings in his collection were produced by a variety of skilled artists and engravers, including Henricus Causé, Franz Ertinger, and others, based on drawings by J. Van Croes. These works provide a valuable visual record of the architectural and cultural heritage of the Brabant region during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
The specific engraver for this piece is not mentioned, but the style aligns with the detailed and realistic approach typical of the artists involved in Le Roy's publications. These prints were likely used for educational and reference purposes, offering insights into the historical buildings of the time.
Condition and Details
