Beautiful etching of the Steen in Antwerp by the Belgian painter, etcher and draftsman Jozef Linnig (1815-1891) Jozef Linnig trained at the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts. He made many drawings and etchings of the old districts and monuments of Antwerp. In 1868 he published a 'Historical album of the city of Antwerp: collection of views and memorials from earlier times' with Buschmann in Antwerp. The book was co-written by Frans Hendrik Mertens and illustrated with prints etched by Linnig. The prints are a valuable treasure trove of documentation about old parts of Antwerp that have since disappeared or been significantly changed. Het Steen, the oldest preserved building in Antwerp, was built between 1200 and 1225 as the gatehouse of the Antwerp castle. The current building covers less than 5% of the surface of the original castle. Within the castle were important institutions such as the Vierschaar (the former court on the corner of Mattenstraat), the Sint-Walburgis Church (also known as the castle church), the Bezaanhuis, the Giant House, the refuge of the Benedictine abbey of Affligem, which also served as a parsonage. of the castle church (the last three in the Mattenstraat), the Steen, the Werf and just outside the castle the Vismarkt. Around 1520, at the time of Charles V, the gatehouse of the castle was thoroughly renovated and it was henceforth called 's-Heeren Steen. In 1549, Charles V donated the building to the city, which owned it until 1828. From 1303 to 1823 the building was used as a prison. Executions sometimes took place, especially the secret drownings of reformists in the years 1557-1565. From 1823, the Steen served as a home for disabled soldiers. After the government requisitioned the building in 1827, it was sold to a sawyer a year later. However, in 1842 the city bought the building back. Dimensions: 17.5x12 and with frame 39x31cm and glass plate for the etching. The item is shipped worldwide via PostNL International service.
