Victor Horta and Paul Hankar, pioneers of Art Nouveau, were part of various networks, including those of the freemasonry and some political circles. While these links shaped their careers, can we reduce their success to these connections alone, as is sometimes stated? The reality is both more subtle and simpler than it may seem. While the two architects' ideas often oppose each other, they complement each other through their talent.

This two-part conference takes a nuanced look at the impact of networks, and extends an initial reflection initiated at the Liberal Archives (Liberas) in Ghent. It is part of the program surrounding the Belgian Art Nouveau exhibition at the Maison Hannon.

A lecture in French.

To celebrate the Iris Festival, Maison Hannon is offering you an unforgettable guided tour, a fascinating sensory experience combining art, poetry, nature and history. The house and its garden reflects the passion of Marie Debard, Édouard Hannon's wife, for nature and aesthetics. Let yourself be guided through the botanical world of the Maison Hannon, where every plant and every flower tells a story. 

Discover how the décor of the house embodies the ideal garden, a skillful blend of Japanese and Arcadian influences. From umbellifers and thistles to umbels and water irises, each plant element is charged with profound symbols and timeless beauty.
