EDITORS COMMENTS
Mills of Berchem," a captivating watercolor painting by Denis Auguste Marie Raffet, dated 1832-1833, offers a glimpse into the past with its intriguing depiction of a bustling street scene. The painting, also known as "Moulins de Berchem," showcases a road lined with figures on horseback and a cart, with two mills standing prominently on the left. In the background, the towers of a city rise up, hinting at the urban surroundings. This artwork is part of a series of 24 prints documenting the Siege of the Citadel of Antwerp, which took place from November 30 to December 23, 1832. The siege was a significant event in Belgian history, marking the end of the Belgian Revolution and the establishment of an independent Belgian state. Raffet masterfully captures the essence of the scene with his use of vibrant colors and intricate details. The mills, with their sails turning in the wind, add a sense of movement and energy to the painting. The soldiers and riders, dressed in their military uniforms, add a touch of historical authenticity. The cart and the horse-drawn transport further emphasize the importance of land transportation during this era. The painting, with its lacquer coating, preserves its brilliance and detail, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historic art. The Mills of Berchem is a testament to Raffet's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. This stunning watercolor painting is a must-have for anyone interested in Belgian history, European art, or the 19th century. The Rijksmuseum and the Freres Gilhaut collection in Belgium are among the many esteemed institutions that have recognized the historical and artistic significance of Raffet's work. This painting, with its rich history and intricate details, is a treasure for art lovers and historians alike.
