About the artwork

As dusk unfolds across Ghent, the city becomes a dream of color and quiet light. The old guild houses along the Leie River shimmer with honey and lilac tones, their elegant gables mirrored in the calm evening water. Inspired by Claude Monet’s fascination with shifting light, this painting captures that elusive moment when day dissolves into night and architecture becomes poetry.

Every brushstroke hums with warmth — the soft lavender haze of twilight, the faint golden pulse of lanterns reflected in rippling water, the deep blue shadows that hint at mystery. The Belfry of Ghent, dignified and still, rises above the city like a memory suspended in time. The artist translates the spirit of Flanders into pure light, rendering history not as structure, but as atmosphere — as something that breathes.

The palette of muted violets, amber, and rose glows from within, creating a feeling of calm introspection. It is a work that feels alive yet hushed, where the familiar transforms into the eternal through color alone. Just as Monet painted Rouen’s cathedral in countless moods, this Impressionist vision turns Ghent’s medieval beauty into a meditation on impermanence, reflection, and grace. Ideal for those who appreciate European romance, soft evening light, and the timeless artistry of Impressionism.
