Guido Gezelle straat op de Molenberg.
Hoe klassiek de gedichten van Gezelle ook zijn, hun thematiek is brandend actueel. In een ritmische, muzikale en zingbare taal brengt hij de natuur in beeld. Wat klein is, wordt groot in zijn gedichten. Lies Van Gasse gaat volop in dialoog met het werk van Gezelle. Rondom een persoonlijke selectie uit zijn gedichten weeft ze een tekstloos graphic poem dat niet alleen de
Travelling along the canals in the Markt and Burg Quarter, central Bruges, Flanders, Belgium. Bruges in medieval times was known as a commercial metropolis in the heart of Europe. The city reflects a considerable exchange of influences on the development of art and architecture, particularly in brick Gothic, which is characteristic of northern Europe and the Baltic. This architecture strongly determines the character of the historic centre of the city. The 11th century city walls marked the boundaries of the medieval city. Although the walls themselves are lost today, they remain clearly visible, emphasized by the four surviving gates, the ramparts and one of the defence water towers. The medieval street pattern, with main roads leading towards the important public squares, has mostly been preserved, as well as the network of canals which, once used for mercantile traffic, played an important role in the development of the city. In the 15th century, Bruges was the cradle of the Flemish Primitives and a centre of patronage and painting development for artists such as Jan van Eyck and Hans Memling. Many of their works were exported and influenced painting styles all over Europe. Exceptionally important collections have remained in the city until today. Even after its economic and artistic peak at the end of the Middle Ages, building and urban development continued, although Bruges mostly missed the 19th-century industrial revolution. In the 18th and 19th centuries, many medieval parcels were joined to larger entities and new quarters were also developed. The most striking examples of large scale post-medieval interventions in the historic centre are the urbanization around Coupure (1751-1755), the Zand and the first railway station (1838), the Theatre quarter (1867), the Koningin Elisabethlaan and Gulden Vlieslaan (1897) and the creation of the Guido Gezelle-neighbourhood (1920-1930).
