• This unique tower appearing through the #cherryblossoms like the sun glimpsing through the clouds is located just behind the Riga square – church of Holy Family in #Schaerbeek (Église de la Sainte-Famille). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fun fact – the construction was actually started in 1901 in Neo Gothic style (designed and supervised by architect Emar Collés (1936-1937)) but unfortunately because of the lack of funds they had to stop the works. In 1936 the project was taken over by F. #Vandendael, who decided to change the conception to Art Deco. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The main tower is 60m high and during the Second World War, in 1943, was disassembled because it was interfering with the air traffic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #visitbrussels #bruxellesmabelle #1030love #1030theplacetobe #schaarbeek #artdecoarchitecture #cherryblossomtrees #bxl #igersbruxelles

  • During those last month we didn’t do much – no trips, no museums, no new discoveries. Whenever we could we were talking short walks in the neighbourhood. Just to breathe outside. We were trying to find new marvels: little #mosaics on the pavement, blossoming trees or enchanting #architecture. After that more and more I'm feeling a #Schaerbeekoise - the girl from #Schaerbeek ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What did you learn during the #quarantine ? Did you try something new? You finally found time for your hobbies? If not, whatever it wasn’t a race! There was never any competition, who will do it better. Nobody cares if you started cooking, crocheting or exercising at home. There is no medal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We all survived :) #1030 #1030theplacetobe #Schaarbeek #visitschaerbeek #bruxelles #bruxellesmabelle #exploringneighborhood #bxlmabelle #1030love #polkinaobczyznie

  • Saint Suzanne - this pink church is something special, isn’t it? Not only because it matches to blooming Schaerbeek cherries ;) The temple was sponsored by a widow, Madame Louise Thiery in memory of her daughter, Suzanne. St Suzanne, martyr saint, was a niece of Pope Caius. She was decapitated during the persecutions of Diocletian around 300AD. Let's talk about the building: It represents contemporary art deco-style. What was innovating for that times - it was made of reinforced concrete. The project was designed by architect Jean Combaz. The first mass took a place in 1928. The church was renovated in 2017 and is open to visit. And it was listed as a heritage site since 2003. Did you see any other colorful churches? #visitbrussels #visitschaerbeek #visitbelgium #stsuzannechurch #artdeco #pinkchurch #1030theplacetobe #cerise #🍒 #cherryblossom #cherryblossomtree #church #jeancombaz #saintesuzanne #eglisesaintsuzanne #brusselsarchitecture #artdecochurch #artdecobruxelles

  • ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Queen Victoria (1819-1901) painted by Heinrich von Angeli (1890) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Queen Victoria was the most photographed and painted monarch to have ever lived (at that time). A fiercely intelligent woman who acknowledged that her image was instrumental to her relationship with the public. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While a young Victoria was wondering about the public's opinion, after the death of Albert (her  husband) and her withdrawal from the public eye, she clearly lost interest in what the others thought of her. Once she said : 'The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tussenkunstenquarantaine #betweenartandquarantine #stayhome #gettymuseumchallenge #playingwithart #1030alamaison @1030cultuur Sent via @planoly #planoly

  • Weren't you actually surprised that the Easter is just behind the corner? This holidays will be different than any other. Maybe it will be a chance to appreciate what we already have? For sure this year, everyone missed the shopping fever.

  • This picture – taken from Susan Herbert “Cats Galore: A Compendium of Cultured Cats” book, shows her feline interpretation of Fragonard's most known work - The #Swing ( #Escarpolette ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the original painting you can spot a young man (left side), who is watching a woman on a swing. She is being pushed by a man in the background (right side) who has no idea of the young man's presence. At first glance, the picture appears innocent, but then it you can spot the differences. As the lady rides higher and higher on the swing, she allows her admirer to see her legs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fun facts: • The swing was a symbol of infidelity. • The dog - symbol of faithfulness – was trying to set an alarm, but woman's husband takes no notice of him. • The young woman on the swing appears as a flower, her skirts like petals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you think about such interpretations of classic art? More pictures from this book will follow shortly in stories :) #susanherbert #felineart #catsinart #catsgalore #catsagram #rococo #rococopainting

  • Cześć dziewczyny! Postanowiłam i ja wziąć udział w #instawtorek w ramach #kobiecafotoszkola Poznajmy się :) Mam na imię Kasia. Pochodzę ze Śląska. Od ośmiu lat mieszkam w Brukseli. • Bardzo lubię podróżować.

W Brukseli przez pewien czas byłam wolontariuszką-przewodniczką. Czy macie swoje ulubione ekspozycje, wystawy, czy dzieła, do których często powracacie? • Jestem polonistką, ale nie jestem ęą. Po pracy udzielam prywatnych lekcji polskiego jako obcego. Nałogowo czytam książki. • Zawsze zimno mi w ręce, które ogrzewam gorącą herbatą (nie mam ulubionej, a ty?). Dzień zaczynam od kawy (i głupotek na joemonsterze). • Moja mama zaraziła mnie miłością do pewnej serii filmów. Tak samo jak ona, ja i mój brat, obejrzeliśmy je wszystkie w kinie. Jaki jest Twój ulubiony film? • Jestem kociarą i jesienniarą. Zbieram pocztówki. • Od kilku lat (bo bardzo powoli mi to idzie) uczę się walki mieczem średniowiecznym. • Nie lubię ziemniaków i nie jem niebieskiego ;) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hej jak się tu znalazłaś?
