June 2018
On a
beautiful Saturday afternoon in June (2018) I had planned a short visit to the
city of Liège (Belgium) with a number of students in ornamental woodcarving. The fact is that on Saturday morning I teach
the woodcutting course in the buildings of Syntra in Tongeren. So these trips
can be very interesting and instructive for the student.
I try my
very best to teach my students the delicacy of the Liège style and
ornamentation. The city of Liège is about 20 minutes away from Tongeren. It is
a city where you can easily spend a few days. Liège is historically important
and is a city with a great variety of buildings and culture. A visit to the
Museum d'Ansembourg was on the program.
This
18th-century mansion, built in the Liège style, is dedicated to 18th-century
decorative arts and gives the visitor a good idea of the sophisticated
lifestyle of the time. The museum has a wonderful collection of furniture from
Liège, including refined carvings and inlays. All rooms are equipped with
carpets and 18th-century Liège furniture from all sorts of stylistic periods.
Some rooms have Cordoban leather wall coverings and Venetian-style glass
chandeliers.

In the
museum café of Musée Curtius in Liège (next to the d'Ansembourg Museum) we had to recover from all the beauty of
the D'Ansembourg Museum and in the afternoon we had planned a short walk
through the city of Liège, specifically Rue Hors-Chateau region.
A visit to
the Montagne des Bueren, Impasse des Ursulines and the gardens of Liège were on
the program.
This
pleasant Saturday afternoon ended in the Italian restaurant I Giardini in the
centre of Liège. The price quality is still excellent and unchanged since I
first came here for dinner in 1987.
