Church of Our Lady, Bruges (previously known as 'Toledo Cathedral')
David Roberts·c. 1830
Historical Context
Church of Our Lady, Bruges from around 1830 by David Roberts depicts one of the finest Gothic churches in Flanders. The Church of Our Lady, home to Michelangelo's Madonna of Bruges, was one of the most celebrated religious buildings in the Low Countries. His success with lithographic publications of his Middle Eastern travels made Roberts's images of ancient monuments available to a wide public and defined the Victorian visual imagination of the Holy Land and Egypt.
Technical Analysis
The church is rendered with Roberts's characteristic architectural precision, the Gothic structure captured with both documentary accuracy and atmospheric effect.
