    La prima bandiera del Belgio fu cucita insieme in tutta fretta dopo che qualcuno vide una bandiera francese sventolare su Bruxelles nel 1830

      The story goes that two journalists spotted a French flag flying over Brussels that day and rushed to a local shopkeeper, asking her to quickly stitch together a flag in the new Belgian colours instead. The painting captures that exact moment, with Édouard Ducpétiaux and Lucien Jottrand (one of the flag’s co creators) shown looking on.

      Zoals alles hier. Rap iets in elkaar geflanst dat maar half werkt.

      De vlag was gebaseerd op die van de Brabantse omwenteling uit 1790.

      I wonder how fast he could paint. If this all happened in a hurry!

      Franskiljons die iets in elkaar flansen en de rest mag de gevolgen dragen. Het was een voorteken. 😉

      Did anyone else interpret this at first read as if OP wrote that someone was flying over Brussels in 1830? 😅
