87 Jacobus Harrewijn (1675–1727) – View of Saint Michael’s Abbey in Antwerp / L’Abbaye de S. Michel à Anvers – Belgium (1697)
This architectural view shows the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Michael (L’Abbaye de S. Michel) in Antwerp, as seen from the south. The abbey complex includes a richly ornamented baroque gateway, extensive gardens, cloisters, and the towering abbey church. The Scheldt River is visible in the background, enhancing the monumental character of the composition. The engraving is signed "Harrewyn fecit" and demonstrates his distinct style of detailed yet theatrical representation.
Jacobus Harrewijn was a Flemish engraver active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, known for his depictions of cities, religious institutions, and historical events. He worked extensively in Brussels and Antwerp, and his works are characterized by their clarity, architectural accuracy, and strong narrative components. Though the scene depicts an earlier abbey view, this impression was likely published around 1795.
