This atmospheric, early book scene by the well-known Belgian graphic artist Peter De Koninck is titled “Lambermontplaats 27”. The composition is set inside the artist's former residence in Antwerp. De Koninck is highly regarded in the art world for his superb mastery of the etching technique and his intimate, often serene interior and still life compositions featuring books. Through subtle tonal gradations and a beautiful interplay of light and shadow, he perfectly captures the spirit of rows of books. A true masterpiece that is perfectly suited for a book village or a dedicated bibliophile.
