EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century oil painting, titled "The Solemn Inauguration of University of Ghent by the Prince of Orange in the Throne Room of the Town Hall on 9 October 1817," is a captivating work of art by Mathieu Van Brée. The painting depicts a grand and ceremonial event in the history of Ghent, Belgium, as the University of Ghent is solemnly inaugurated by the Prince of Orange, King William I of the Netherlands and Duke of Limburg, Brabant, and Luxembourg. The Prince of Orange, dressed in full regalia, sits on his throne in the ornate Throne Room of the Town Hall, surrounded by a sea of guests, all dressed in their finest attire. The room is adorned with rich colors and intricate details, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the occasion. The guests, including university officials and dignitaries, look on with admiration and respect as the Prince of Orange performs the inauguration ceremony. The painting is a testament to the cultural and historical significance of the University of Ghent, which was founded in 1817 as part of the Dutch educational reforms. The university has since grown to become one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher learning in Belgium, with a rich heritage in arts, sciences, and humanities. Mathieu Van Brée's masterful use of oil on panel creates a vivid and lifelike image, capturing the essence of the event and the spirit of the time. The painting is a valuable addition to the art collections of museums and institutions around the world, and a reminder of the important role that education and learning have played in the history of the Low Countries and Europe as a whole.
