Description:
De ets "De kathedraal" is een van Ensors beroemdste etsen. Het is een compilatie van verschillende gezichtspunten van de Dom van Aken, met uitzondering van de torens die de kunstenaar er zelf aan toevoegde. Voor de ets inspireerde Ensor zich op een aquarel uit 1836 van de Nederlandse kunstenaar Gerrit Hulseboom (Aken, Historisches Museum). Anderzijds is de opeen gedromde menigte op de voorgrond typisch voor Ensors massataferelen. In 1896 herwerkte hij dezelfde ets in een tweede plaat, omdat de eerste volgens zijn biograaf Albert Croquez zoek was geraakt (inv. 1998-B-105).
