"Hotel De Ville, Bruges" is a notable etching by the Scottish artist Andrew F. Affleck (1874–1935), who was renowned for his architectural etchings, particularly those capturing the essence of European medieval and Renaissance buildings. Born in Edinburgh, Affleck developed a profound interest in architecture and the arts, which is vividly reflected in his detailed and atmospheric etchings. His work "Hotel De Ville, Bruges" exemplifies his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the architectural grandeur and historical ambiance of his subjects.

The Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) in Bruges, Belgium, is one of the oldest city halls in the Low Countries, dating back to 1376, and is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Affleck's etching captures the intricate façades, the soaring Gothic windows, and the detailed sculptures that adorn this historic building, reflecting the artist's admiration for Gothic architecture and his skill in rendering its complexity.

Affleck's technique involved a delicate balance of light and shadow, which brought out the textures and depth of the architectural features, making his works highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of architectural art. "Hotel De Ville, Bruges" is not only a testament to Affleck's talent as an etcher but also serves as a visual document of the architectural beauty and historical significance of the Bruges City Hall. Through his work, Affleck contributed to the appreciation of European architectural heritage, making his etchings an important part of early 20th-century art history.

This piece, like many of Affleck's works, would have been produced during a period when there was a resurgence of interest in etching, known as the Etching Revival, which spanned from the late 19th century into the early 20th century. Affleck's contributions to this movement, particularly through works like "Hotel De Ville, Bruges," highlight his role in the revival of etching as a fine art form and his dedication to capturing the architectural splendor of Europe's historic buildings.
