Charles Verbrugghe, Belgium. A view of the harbour of Ostend.

Haven Oostende

Haven Oostende turns the collection's attention from Bruges' inland canals toward the Belgian coast. Ostend has been one of Belgium's principal working ports and a magnet for marine painters for well over a century.

Verbrugghe's treatment favours the working, functional character of the harbour over a purely picturesque coastal view.
