The beauty of Flemish tapestries.
From the 13th century till the 17th century, Flanders, Hainaut and Brabant were the epicentres of tapestry making. It were the most expensive pieces of art ( more expensive than paintings for example) from the Middle Ages till halfway the baroque period. They sometimes had silver or gold woven in it to give it more lustre. Initially only for sovereigns and the highest eclastical individuals, made on commission. The cartoons were originally made by the weavers, later by local artists, and later cartoons were sometimes made abroad and send to be woven in the workshops of the Southern Netherlands (read: Belgium and Northern France). Cities of tapestry making were among others. Atrecht (Arras : in italian tapestry are arazzi), Bruges, Tournai, Edingen, Oudenaarde, Geraardsbergen, Brussels. Even though Flanders was only one of the counties of the Southern Netherlands, the concept of Flemishis apllied to a wider area were Flemish culture was spread.
After Louis XIV broke the monopolies of the workshops in the Southern Netherlands after conquering territorirs during the Wars of the Spanish Succession, he brought over weavers from those lands and the Manufacture des Gobelins near Paris was being established, since then the French created their own style of tapestries, along with a reviving of a production in Aubusson, were flemish weaving techniques were already introduced during the 14th century and a small regional production was already established for wall and floor tapestry and for upholstery.
Many tapestries located in the areas conquered by the French Revolutionist mobs were burned in an attempt to retrieve the silver and gold ... resulting in the fact there are seemingly more surviving flemish (and french) tapestries to be found in England, Spain or Italy.
But the tapestries in this post, these are on display in the Castle of Gaasbeek, located south west of Brussels. They belong to a collection that was established during the 19th century.
One of the series of tapestries in the castle are the so-called Carrabara or Gypsy Suite dates from the Tournai studio of Arnould Poissonier and dates from ca. 1500-1525.
During the Flemish Renaissance period (sixteenth century), Tournai was one of the most important centers for tapestry production. People mainly wove with wool and silk. Typical details are the strongly defined folds in the clothing and the grass tufts that protrude everywhere in the landscape. Tournai carpets were known for their intense, contrasting colours. This is still noticeable, although the colors have faded. For example, the yellow has almost disappeared, making the green – which consists of a mixture of blue and yellow – increasingly bluer.
Gypsies used to be very distrusted, as a strange people of musicians, dancers and fortune tellers, but at the same time they were fascinating because of their unclear origins and their colorful customs. So ideal inspiration to make a tapestry about, as a conversation piece.

Le musée d'Amsterdam a dévoilé sa récente acquisition du Porte-Étendard, tableau de 1636, que le musée du Louvre n'avait pas les moyens d'acquérir.
Le Rijksmuseum Amsterdam a dévoilé jeudi sa récente acquisition du Porte-Étendard de Rembrandt, disputé un temps entre Paris et La Haye avant d'être acheté pour 175 millions d'euros par les Pays-Bas. Anciennement propriété de la famille Rothschild, le tableau datant de 1636 avait été déclaré «Trésor National» par la France lorsqu'il a été mis en vente et donc soumis à une interdiction d'exportation.
Mais le Louvre a renoncé à son droit d'achat, faute d'avoir pu réunir les fonds suffisants. Il a ensuite été acquis début 2022 par le Rijksmuseum. L'État néerlandais a participé à l'achat à hauteur de 150 millions d'euros, la Fondation Rembrandt et le Fonds du Rijksmuseum ayant respectivement contribué à hauteur de quinze et dix millions d'euros.
L'œuvre était depuis plusieurs siècles entre les mains de collectionneurs privés, dont la famille Rothschild qui en était propriétaire depuis 1844.
C'est une fête. Ce n'est pas un retour aux sources, c'est vraiment la pendaison de crémaillère pour Rembrandt qui rentre à la maison après près de 400 ans», a déclaré Taco Dibbits, directeur du Rijksmuseum, au moment de l'installation du Porte-Étendard dans le musée d'Amsterdam.
L'autoportrait du maître, qu'il a peint lorsqu'il avait trente ans, le montre en uniforme de milice, et est accroché aux côtés de sa célèbre La Ronde de nuit dans la galerie d'honneur du Rijksmuseum.
Le Parlement néerlandais a approuvé l'achat du tableau en janvier 2022. La plupart des groupes politiques ont estimé, à l'instar du gouvernement, que le tableau est un ajout précieux à la collection d'art public des Pays-Bas. Mais plusieurs partis ont émis des réserves liées au moment de l'achat, alors que de nombreux acteurs du secteur culturel souffraient des mesures sanitaires.
Considéré par le gouvernement néerlandais comme «l'un des chefs-d'œuvre absolus de Rembrandt» et «inextricablement lié à l'histoire des Pays-Bas», le tableau, avant de rejoindre le Rijksmuseum, a été prêté au cours de ces douze derniers mois à plusieurs musées des Pays-Bas.

Die Frikadelle: Ein köstliches Mysterium des Nordens

Die Frikadelle ist eine Hackfleischwurst, eine kulinarische Spezialität aus dem Norden Frankreichs und Belgiens, die durch ihre Einfachheit und ihren unverwechselbaren Geschmack begeistert. Ursprünglich ist sie eine Hackfleischkugel, doch in der Populärkultur, insbesondere in Frittenbuden, ist sie als panierte und fritierte Wurst bekannt, die etwa 15 cm lang ist.
Ursprung und Definition
Das Wort "Frikadelle" scheint von "Fricassée" abzuleiten, einem Fleischragout, und ist seit 1837 im "Dictionnaire des dictionnaires" als Hackfleischkugel in Belgien dokumentiert. Es gibt jedoch eine sprachliche Verwirrung zwischen "Frikadelle" und "Fricandelle", wobei letzteres manchmal verwendet wird, um die gebratene Wurst aus Frittenbuden im Norden zu beschreiben.
Zubereitung und Zutaten
Die Frikadelle besteht in der Regel aus einer Mischung von Schweinefleisch, manchmal angereichert mit Kalb- oder Rindfleisch, gemischt mit Brotkrumen, Milch, Eiern und gewürzt mit verschiedenen Gewürzen wie Muskatnuss. Die Zubereitung kann variieren, aber die Garung erfolgt oft im Dampfofen oder in einer Brühe, danach wird die Frikadelle frittiert, um eine knusprige Außenseite und ein saftiges Innere zu erhalten.
Kochen: Für eine perfekte Zubereitung wird ein Dampfofen bei 75°C für 30 Minuten empfohlen, gefolgt von einer Frittierung in Rindertalg oder Butter für die Knusprigkeit.
Rezept und Handwerker
Charles-Henry Terrier, ein Fleischermeister in Méteren in Flandern, ist bekannt für seine handgemachte Frikadelle. Er verwendet ein Familienrezept, das lokale Fleischsorten mit natürlichen Zutaten wie Zwiebeln, Petersilie, Senf und einer Auswahl an Gewürzen kombiniert. Terrier legt großen Wert auf die Transparenz der verwendeten Zutaten und bietet so eine Frikadelle von überlegener Qualität, weit entfernt von den industriellen Versionen, die man oft in Frittenbuden findet.
Wo man gute Frikadellen findet?
Für diejenigen, die eine authentische Frikadelle in den Hauts-de-France probieren möchten, gibt es einige empfehlenswerte Adressen:
Au Fil du Couteau in Méteren und Steenvoorde, wo Charles-Henry Terrier sein Handwerk präsentiert. La Ferme du Beau Pays, bekannt für seine Bio-Produkte, bietet Frikadellen von hoher Qualität mit Transparenz bezüglich der Zutaten. Markt von Wazemmes in Lille, ein Ort, wo man Handwerker findet, die handgemachte Frikadellen verkaufen.
Schlussfolgerung
Die Frikadelle, mit ihrer reichen Geschichte und ihren verschiedenen Varianten, bleibt ein Symbol der Nordküche und bietet eine einzigartige Geschmackserfahrung. Ob man dieses Gericht in seiner traditionellen Form genießen möchte oder Rezepte von leidenschaftlichen Handwerkern entdeckt, die Frikadelle lädt zu einer kulinarischen Erkundung dieser Region ein.

Some shots of the magnificent interior of Our Dear Lady church (O-L-Vrouwekerk) in Dendermonde, a provincial town in Flanders, Belgium.










The church has a sculpted Romanesque baptismal font from the 12th century, which comes from Tournai. This is probably the only remnant of the original Romanesque church.
Main altar in early Baroque style, by Antwerp sculptor Hubrecht van den Eynde. This is a monumental portico altar of marble and alabaster, crowned with statues of the patron saints Hilduard and Christiana, and of Christ as Salvator Mundi.
The baroque rood loft dates from 1663. This once closed off the high choir. Artus Quellinus and Mattheüs van Beveren worked on this.
The pulpit, which was made of oak, is also Baroque and dates from 1681. This also belongs to Mattheüs van Beveren. The pulpit is carried by two angels who trample on a heretic who is holding a book.
In addition, you will find numerous other old church furniture, such as confessionals from the 17th century and a communion rail from 1682.
The church contains many valuable paintings, such as Christ on the cross from 1629. This painting painted by Antoon van Dyck was originally intended for the Capuchin Church, which was then located on the Vlasmarkt. After the French Revolution it was taken by the French occupiers and hung in the Louvre in Paijs. After the battle of Waterloo it returned to Dendermonde and was given a place in the Church of Our Lady. In 2024 it became known that it was being restored.
The Adoration of the Shepherds is also a work by Van Dyck. There are also an Ascension of Christ and the Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence, by Gaspar de Crayer, and two wooden panels from a triptych from 1617 by David Teniers the Elder. In 2015, this triptych by David Teniers the Elder, whose center panel disappeared shortly after 1945, was made complete again by a contemporary version of "the transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor". This new painting was painted by Gerolf Van de Perre. In total there are more than 60 paintings in the Church of Our Lady.
There is also, next to the St. Nicholas altar, a statue of a young beggar, attributed to Frans Duquesnoy. Jos De Decker sculpted the granite service altar from 1975.
There is also a church treasure, which includes many silver objects, such as reliquaries, monstrances and the like.
