 THE TOWN HAI.I. AND MARKltT-PLACE OE BRUSSELS, BELGIUM 



Brussels is a city rich in art possessions. In the Royal Palace are specimens of Rubens 

 and Van Dyck ; in the cathedral is a pulpit representing the expulsion from Paradise exe- 

 cuted by the celebrated Verbruggen; in the Palais des Beaux-Arts are Hubert van byck s 

 "Adam and Eve," Rubens' "Adoration of the Magi" and his "Portrait of the Virgin ma 

 Bower of Roses." Van Dvck's "Drunken Silenus," Rubens' "Christ Hurling Thunderbolts 

 at a Wicked World," etc. The art collections of Brussels, once inferior to those at Antwerp, 

 are now equally representative.
