XVII Century Processions

December 26, 2011 by Fosco Lucarelli Leave a Comment

From Christie‘s: THE PROCESSION OF THE GUILDS AND THE PROCESSION OF NOTRE-DAME DU SABLON DURING THE OMMEGANCK IN BRUSSELS IN 1615, OIL ON CANVAS, A PAIR, 20TH CENTURY AFTER DENYS VAN ALSLOOT

Ces tableaux s’inspirent des oeuvres originales de Denys van Alsloot, exécutées en 1616 et conservées au Musée du Prado à Madrid. Les deux oeuvres relatent des épisodes de la fête de l’Ommegang (‘procession’ en flamand), qui se déroula à Bruxelles le dimanche 31 mai 1615, au cours de laquelle eut notamment lieu le triomphe de l’Archiduchesse Isabelle (1556-1633). Cette fête qui célébrait Notre-Dame du Sablon se déroulait sur la Grand-Place de Bruxelles et était l’occasion d’un défilé fastueux des autorités civiles, des corporations, des chambres de rhétorique, des Serments et du clergé de la ville.
