Jules Brunfaut, The Maison Hannon (Hannon House), (Hotel Hannon) in Brussels, Belgium. 1903. 

Address: Av. de la Jonction 1, 1060 Saint-Gilles, Belgia

The Maison Hannon is one of the masterpieces of art nouveau in Brussels, uniting Belgian art nouveau with French art nouveau in a symbolist and dreamlike universe. Built on the corner of Avenue Brugmann and Avenue de la Jonction in Saint-Gilles, it was commissioned by the Hannon couple whose name it bears, Marie and Edouard, from their architect friend Jules Brunfaut in 1902.

While looking into Belgian folk dress, I stumbled on a unique trend from the Belle Èpoque; “laitières” or milk maids. Farm girls were photographed standing next to their dog carts, holding a milk jug. The hype was so real, many photographs were staged as well. The same girl can be from Antwerp, Bruges or Brussels. Alternatively, a whole series was photographed with the girls leaving the farm, serving milk and being controlled by the local law enforcement (champetter). Possibly the girls can be seen receiving a fine for diluting the milk with water. Some girls aren’t even outside, but rather in front of a backdrop.

Some things you only learn or realize by spending an idiotic amount of time with it. I was actually just interested in the coifs until my mental database crashed over Bruges/Brussels.

A selection of shots from details from Hôtel Solvay, a masterpiece by Victor Horta, a native from Ghent, who build the very first art nouveau style buildings.

This building could achieve the goal of Gesammtkunstwerk aided by the unlimited funds that were provided without compromises, a steel structure adorned with precious materials, an inventive ventilation system and it was the first house in Brussels to be completely illuminated by incandescent bulbs.

In 1894, Armand Solvay, son of chemist-industrialist Ernest Solvay, asked Victor Horta to design a house for him and his family. In the years that followed, the architect was given absolute financial freedom, which can be seen in the creative execution and the materials used. Everything in this stately mansion, down to the smallest detail, bears Horta’s stamp. In the 1950s, the Wittamer family established their haute couture workshop in the building and saved it from demolition and decay. And how! Their great care and the restorations they carried out helped the Solvay House to be inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2000. As one of Horta’s most remarkable creations, this work of art is well worth a visit!
