Mural of Corto Maltese, Comic art mural in City of Brussels, Belgium.
The large-scale wall painting depicts Corto Maltese, a character drawn in black and white, standing against a background of maritime elements at Ferme des Boues.
The 2009 mural represents Corto Maltese, a character first introduced in 1967 by Italian illustrator Hugo Pratt through his Mediterranean adventure comic series.
The mural forms part of Brussels Comic Strip Trail, which features over 80 public artworks celebrating the strong connection between the city and comic art.
Visitors can locate this outdoor artwork at the intersection of two streets near the city center, accessible through several public transportation options.
The mural captures Hugo Pratt's signature illustration style through precise linework and contrasting shades, transforming a simple wall into a narrative canvas.
