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.

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.

In the streets of Bruges in Flanders, Belgium.
Around 1000 AD the biggest city of Northern Europe. In the 15th century the main trading hub and cultural capital of Northern Europe; in this century Bruges was the capital of the Burgundian Empire, diamond cutting was invented here, but also the first Stock Exchange was here; on a square named Ter Beurse (leading to foreign words Bourse, Borsa, Bolsa for stock exchange.) And also in this city was organised at that time, for the first time a "loterije" , a public lottery.... a city full of history, so wel preserved the entire medieval city is a Unesco World Heritage- site.
