Sketching the city: Victor Horta

This time, our illustrator Zsofi was inspired by the work of Victor Horta and made a drawing about him. Horta was a famous Belgian architect and designer and is considered as one of the most influential Art Nouveau architects in Europe. He was born on January 6th, 1861 in Ghent and dies on September 8th, 1947 in Brussels.

You can read more about Victor Horta and his legacy on the website of Horta Museum.

If you have ideas for new maps and illustrations, you can get in touch with us or Zsofi directly.

Zsofi Lang (@zldrawings) is an illustrator based in Brussels. She likes to visualise complex ideas in simple ways, mostly in the form of hand-drawn infographics, maps, or live drawing at conferences. She loves architecture, history and little-known facts about Brussels, so if you have any, send them her way. You can learn more about her at her website.
