Laurent-Benoît Dewez (1732–1812), Architect in the Age of Enlightenment
Designing for Government, Church and Court in the Southern Low Countries
2025 || Hardcover || Dirk Van de Vijver || Leuven University Press
Laurent-Benoît Dewez (1731-1812), court architect to Charles of Lorraine, was the most outstanding architect of his time in the Southern Low Countries. After studying in Italy and serving in the eminent office of Robert Adam in London, Dewez developed a personal, classical style that came to embody the “Eglise Belgique” under the Austrian Habsburgs. He designed numerous castles, abbeys, and churches across Belgium, but time has not been kind to his legacy: of his 80 architectural project...

2025 || Paperback || Mary K. Feeney e.a. || Leuven University Press

Moral Seascapes
On the Ethics and Aesthetics of Maritime Emergency
2024 || Paperback || Chiara Giubilaro e.a. || Leuven University Press
We are no strangers today to visual representations of human suffering at sea: the refugee crisis that continues to play out in the seascape between Europe and Africa (and not only there) yields an ever-growing archive of humanitarian tragedy.

The United States of Belgium
The Story of the First Belgian Revolution
2018 || Paperback || Jane C. Judge || Leuven University Press
