Landjuweel

This painting, painted in 1899 by Edgard Farasyn for the Salle des Pas-Perdus of the Antwerp City Hall, is a fantasized representation of the procession of the Violieren chamber of rhetoric, winner of the 1539 Landjuweel grand prix in Ghent.

Landjuweel (lit. "jewel of the land"[1]) is the highest award for an amateur theatrical troupe to have received in Belgium. It has its historical origin in the contests among the Chamber of rhetoric of different cities of the Low Countries.[2]
