Claude Renard has left an indelible mark on Belgian comic book history. Yet he is not so well known to the general public. He was an illustrator, sculptor, graphic designer, designer, scenographer and set and costume designer for theatre, but above all he was the extraordinary inspirer of the Atelier R in St-Luc Brussels. There, in the 1970s, he trained an exceptional generation of comic book creators, whom he introduced to the world in the legendary magazine Le 9è Rêve.Six years after his death, his son Romain, together with Thierry Bellefroid, is reviving the worlds of this aesthete, whose whole life was a work of art. From his bustling studio that he transformed into a cabinet of curiosities to the furniture of his home, from the graphic design of his covers to the posters for his shows, from futuristic comics to history books, from his mineral sculptures to his fascination with Galileo, from his multifarious collections to his countless tools, Claude Renard is elusive. Like the exhibition showcasing his work, he is both whole and fragmented.With contributions from former students of Atelier R, published in Le 9è Rêve, including François Schuiten, Andréas, Sokal, Berthet, Chantal De Spiegeleer, Séraphine, Foerster, Alain Goffin, Anne Baltus and many others.

This place is still very worth visiting at the Belgian Comic Art Center. It records some statues of the famous animation evolution in Belgium. If children come, they will like it very much. It&rsquo;s not too big inside, it&rsquo;s only 3 to 4 hours to go shopping.

not bad. Brussels is known as Europe&#39;s most boring capital, and the atomic tower is one of the attractions of the dwarf general. You can see the entire city of Brussels, or you can spend 1 euro, and the whole telescope can be looked at carefully. The rest is a full sense of time. After all, it was built decades ago, all of it was classical technology cyberpunk.

Manneken Pis

SUNSHINE ONUS

Brussels peeing child (Manneken Pis) is one of the iconic statues of the Belgian capital Brussels, known as the &quot;First Citizen of Brussels&quot;. The peeing child statue is located in the pedestrian area of downtown Brussels, about 53 cm tall, and sits on a marble carved platform about two meters high. The statue was made of bronze, the original bronze statue was created in 1619 by the Belgian sculptor Jerome Duquesnova. There are many versions of legends about the origin and story of peeing children: &bull; Legend 1: In 1142, the Duke of Goth Fred III led the army against foreign enemies, and the Duke put his young son in a cradle and hung on a tree to inspire the army&#39;s morale and finally defeated the enemy. &bull; Legend 2: Less than getting up in the middle of the night to pee, seeing the neighbor&#39;s house on fire, can not find the water to put out, so with urine to extinguish the fire, rescue the trapped people. &bull; Legend 3: When the ancient Spanish invaders evacuated Brussels, they wanted to blow up the city with explosives, less than pissing overnight, doused the fuse, thereby saving Brussels. &bull; Legend 4: The rulers of the Holy Roman Empire intended to blow up Brussels with explosives, less than even discovering and dousing the fuse. Peeing children is not only a landmark in Brussels, but also a symbol of the Belgian spirit, representing bravery and wisdom. Traditional: Since the 18th century, the statue of the peeing child has changed clothes regularly. Today, he has more than 1,000 costumes that are presented by countries. The peeing child attracts visitors from all over the world for its unique historical and cultural value.
