From Memling to Rubens: the golden age of Flanders

Abstract

One hundred breathtaking masterpieces from the collection of The Phoebus Foundation, by Hans Memling, Quinten Metsys, Peter Paul Rubens and Antoon Van Dyck, will take the reader through a world full of foolishness and sin, fascination and ambition. They tell about rich citizens and poor saints, about artists and wine cellars, and about Antwerp as Hollywood on the Scheldt.0This book is a compelling story about the image and its meaning, and about the bond between culture and society. Because above all this is about us and who we are today - as people.00Exhibition: Kadriorg Art Museum, Tallinn, Estonia (11.04.-13.09.2020) / followed by MAS, Antwerp, Belgium.
