👉 Herentals in the context of Hieronymus Francken I
Hieronymus Francken I or Hieronymus Francken the Elder (ca. 1540, Herentals – 1610, Paris) was a Flemish painter and an important member of the Francken family of artists. After training in Antwerp, he was mainly active in France, where he became court painter at the French court. His compositions with elegant groups of dancing figures, musicians and courtiers anticipate the development of this genre in the 17th century.

Herentals in the context of Morkhoven
Morkhoven (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmɔr(ə)kˌɦoːvə(n)]) is a village in the Belgian province of Antwerp belonging to the municipality of Herentals. First documented in 1286, Morkhoven was historically linked to various noble families and was a rural settlement on the periphery of Herentals until it developed road connections with other villages in the 19th century. It has since become a primarily residential area. Morkhoven was incorporated into the municipality of Herentals in 1977.
A local landmark is the Freedom Tilia, believed to have been planted during the Brabant Revolution (1789–1790) or the Belgian Revolution (1830–1831).
