Abstract:Around the 1870s, artists such as Charle Albert aimed to f ind a decorative unity of style through their personal homes, with the precise desire to re-propose the original aspects of Flemish culture. The Vlaams Huis by Charle Albert was decorated in a variety of ancient Flemish styles ranging from late Gothic to Baroque. The interior pieces were organized in a sequence revealing the historical evolution of Flemish Renaissance decorative styles, thus illustrating the country’s ancient roots: they narrated national history and served as a model for Belgian artists. This chapter aims to give a new reading of the Vlaams Huis linking historical and artistic research, educational strategies, heritage promotion, and identity politics.
