Paul Delvaux’s Serenity

From The Groeninge Museum in Bruges:

I found Paul Delvaux about a decade ago through the cover of a book on Athenian citizenship myths by one of my favorite classicists Nicole Loraux (The Children of Athena).  It’s a shame he remains so underloved.

“It will be seen that this mere painstaking burrower and grub-worm of a poor devil of a Sub-Sub appears to have gone through the long Vaticans and street-stalls of the earth, picking up whatever random curiosities he could anyways find in any book whatsoever, sacred or profane” – prologue to Moby Dick
