Le Bruxelles de Horta

This volume brings together all the public buildings
and private houses  built by Victor Horta in Brussels
and its surroundings. Under the expert guidance
of Françoise Aubry, Curator of the Horta Museum
and leading author in the field, the reader discovers the
architecture of the father of Belgian Art Nouveau, from
the classicist beginnings of the Matyn house through
the exuberance of the Solvay residence to the geometric
style of the Palais des Beaux-Arts.
With its abundant archival material and recent photo-
graphs by Christine Bastin and Jacques Evrard, its handy
maps and practical information, this new publication not
only immerses you in the atmosphere of the fin de siècle,
it also helps you to prepare your walking tour through
the capital of Art Nouveau.
