De Meestersteenhouwer

In De Meestersteenhouwer (2001–2004), Dargaud Benelux published a compact, three-issue series that explores the life and craft of a master stonemason. The story, set against a backdrop of historical craftsmanship, delves into the tensions between artistic integrity and commercial demands. Though brief, the series is notable for its focused, intimate character study and the detailed, atmospheric art that brings the stonemason’s world to life. It stands as a quietly compelling example of European historical fiction in comics.
