Research Abstract |
In late nineteenth-century Belgium, important cultural phenomena scattered over the former Habsburg Southern Netherlands were' nationalized' and enshrined as symbols of nation-state integration. Geography and art, in various relations to each other, were also involved in this process. Historic architecture and scenic landscapes in the Southern Netherlands, as well as sixteenth-century geographers such as Gerardus Mercator and Abraham Ortelius, were all represented and consumed as a sort of' national heritage' through the medium of fine arts.
