Oud kasteel aan het water 1887 - 1909

Pol Craps created this artwork, 'Old Castle by the Water', using etching. Here, the image of the castle is more than just a building, it is an emotional symbol. Water often mirrors and reflects, and the castle mirrored in the water invites introspection, prompting us to consider the depths of our own histories. It is an invitation into a psychological exploration, where the castle stands not only as a physical structure but also as a representation of the self. This is akin to the classical myth of Narcissus, whose reflection consumed him. The castle is not just a building; it is a timeless motif resonating with themes of introspection and memory. The castle is a sentinel standing guard over forgotten stories. Its image, blurred by water, reminds us that our understanding of the past is always filtered, never entirely clear. This image continues to echo through time, reminding us of the layers of meaning inherent in such images.
