THE TOWN HALL, ANTWERP. This noble edifice was commenced in the year 1560, by Cornelius Floris, brother of Francis, the Painter; but, in 1561, it was unhappily destroyed by fire. It was, however, rebuilt and completed in 1576, such as it now appears. The façade is 250 feet in length, ornamented with marble pillars of the several orders of architecture, ranged above each other. The body of the edifice is of hewn stone ; the frontispiece is adorned with some statues, and was originally surmounted by an eagle. The interior apartments are numerous and spacious. Like most of the public edifices in the Netherlands, the Town Hall can boast of many fine paintings. In the State Room, over the chimney, there is an allegorical piece, by A. Jansens ; and opposite to it a picture by the brothers Gerard and Daniel Seghers, representing the Virgin and Child, and Angels, crowned with flowers. In the other apartments there are pictures by Rubens, Sneyders, Jordaens, Fyt, &c. &c.
