The Cathedral of Our Lady (Cathedraal van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw) in Antwerp, Belgium, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and one of the most important landmarks in the city. Construction began in 1352 and was completed in the early 16th century. The cathedral is known for its soaring spires, intricate stone carvings, and beautiful stained glass windows.

The interior is equally impressive, housing notable artworks by the Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, who was a key figure in Antwerp’s artistic history. Among these works are The Descent from the Cross and The Elevation of the Cross. The cathedral's high nave and remarkable altars are testament to its religious and artistic significance.

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Cathedral of Our Lady is not only a place of worship but also an architectural and cultural treasure that reflects Antwerp's rich medieval and Renaissance heritage.

Sir Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish artist and diplomat. He is considered the most influential artist of the Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubens' highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasised movement, colour, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. Rubens was a painter producing altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects. He was also a prolific designer of cartoons for the Flemish tapestry workshops and of frontispieces for the publishers in Antwerp.
Antwerp / Anvers is a city and a municipality in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is the capital and largest city of Antwerp Province, and the third largest city in Belgium.

Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.

When framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.

These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
