Photographer’s Note
▼ Texto em português mais abaixo. ▼ ▼ Tekst in de vlaamse taal: zie hieronder. ▼
A few yards from my previous photo, there is the Hendrik Conscienceplein (Square of Hendrik Conscience), where we find the Carolus Borromeuskerk (Church of St. Charles Borromeo) and the Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience (Heritage Library Hendrik Conscience, former City Library). In this photo you see the library and the statue of Hendrik Conscience.
Hendrik Conscience (1812-1883) was a Belgian romantic novelist who dominated the birth and development of the Flemish novel. His father was French, his mother Flemish. Conscience took part in the uprising of July 1830, which resulted in the independence of Belgium. His book De Leeuw van Vlaanderen (The Lion of Flanders) is considered a masterpiece of Flemish literature. (More info: Wikipedia.)
This is in Antwerpen, the largest city of the Flemish Region (Vlaams Gewest), in Northern Belgium.
Location: Localização: Locatie: 51.2209397, 4.4038492.
A alguns metros da minha foto anterior, encontra-se a Hendrik Conscienceplein (Praça de Hendrik Conscience), onde se localiza a Carolus Borromeuskerk (Igreja de São Carlos Borromeu) e a Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience (Biblioteca Património Hendrik Conscience, antiga Biblioteca da Cidade). Nesta foto vê-se a biblioteca e a estátua de Hendrik Conscience.
Hendrik Conscience (1812-1883) foi um escritor romântico belga que dominou o nascimento e o desenvolvimento da novela flamenga. Seu pai era francês, sua mãe flamenga. Conscience tomou parte na Revolução de Julho de 1830, a qual resultou na independência da Bélgica. O seu livro De Leeuw van Vlaanderen (O Leão da Flandres) é considerado uma obra-prima da literatura flamenga. (Mais informações: Wikipédia em inglês ou Wikipédia em francês.)
Isto é em Antuérpia, a maior cidade da Região Flamenga (Vlaams Gewest), no norte da Bélgica.
"De Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience is een bewaarbibliotheek. Een boek of tijdschrift dat in de collectie wordt opgenomen, blijft normaal voor altijd beschikbaar. De zwaartepunten van de bibliotheekcollectie zijn Nederlandse taal en letteren en Vlaamse cultuur en geschiedenis.
De Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience - de vroegere Stadsbibliotheek Antwerpen - herbergt een schat aan informatie." (uit: www.consciencebibliotheek.be.)
