A Painter's House

The new photo book A Painter's House portrays the home of painter Marten Melsen (1870-1947). This Brussels-born artist decided to live among the farmers in Stabroek Belgium around 1900. After his death, his wife and later his unmarried daughters kept the house as it was. Their father's studio remained untouched. Their care makes this home one of the rare remaining original artists' homes in Belgium. The interiors, as some still know them from their (great) grandparents, inspired Karin Borghouts to take a series of atmospheric and detailed photographs.

The book is the second in the same series as The House which was published in 2021.
On 21 January, grandson Jan Melsen and Karin Borghouts gave a well-attended book presentation at the Kalmthout Library.
