Settled in Ghent (Belgium) in 1877, Charles Doudelet (1861-1938) developed a professional and friendly network around illustrated books, magazines and exhibitions. From 1892, he became a close friend of the writer Maurice Maeterlinck and illustrated his famous Twelve songs (1896).
A passionate intellectual inspired by the art of the Middle Ages and the Italian Renaissance, Doudelet is one of those Belgian artists who absolutely must be (re)discovered.
This richly illustrated catalog takes stock of Doudelet's Symbolist period, filling a publishing gap of more than thirty years. It reflects the artist's passion for spirituality and esotericism.
"By symbolism I mean the very essence of Art, the inner splendor that gives a work a magical radiance, that makes it stand out and be admired like a diamond among glass cabochons."
Charles Doudelet, The Free Idea , 1901
