Catalogue Note
Published in Het Toppunt Der Beschaving with the subtitle: ‘The Fate of Flemish Art at the Hands of Kultur’, this drawing symbolises the burning down of the university library in the town of Leuven by the German army advancing through Belgium towards France at the outbreak of the war in 1914.
