RUBENS IS A GREAT INSPIRATION FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS AND THE A-TYPICAL WAY OF LIFE OF THE CITY AND ITS INHABITANTS. I Received by Registration Unit 12/08/2017 4:18:45 PM Rubens was born in 1577 in Siegen (in present-day Germany), but soon moved to Antwerp with his mother after his father died when he was young. It was there that he learnt to paint. taking instruction from artists such as Tobias Verhaecht, Adam van Noort and Otto van Veen. In 1600. he travelled to Rome and Venice in ltaly. and then later to Spain. It was clear even then that he was no ordinary talent as he soon began to receive Royal commissions from both courts. AND WORK STUDIOS. in 1608, he returned to Antwerp as the of?cial court painter to the Low Countries, 3 title bestowed on him by Archduke Albert of Austria and Isabella of Spain. It was at this time that he bought a house and land on Wapper Square - right in the centre of today's Antwerp - and set about redesigning it completely. Inspired by the architecture of Roman Antiquity and the Renaissance. Rubens drew up the plans for the renovation turned an ordinary Flemish house into a ?palazzo'. He extended the home considerably adding a studio. 3 garden pavilion and a domed sculpture museum. There was also a magni?cent portico offering a beautiful view of the courtyard garden and the garden pavilion. The result was magni?cent. From then on. his studio would become a hive of activity with many employees and students. some of who went to be famous in their own right. like Anthony and Jacob lordaens. The studio produced hundreds of creations and paintings. many . speci?cally to order. wanton Africa Rita A favourite of?Archduchess Isabella. Rubens became increasingly involved in diplomatic missions on her behalf. It was he who ?nally brokered a peace deal between Spain and England, a move that would eventually lead to a cessation of hostilities between the Spanish and the Dutch. close allies of the English. Rubens was a highly esteemed court guest all over Europe with many contemporaries considering him as skilled a diplomat as he was painter. He was by then almost universally revered as an artist without rival. During his travels he secured many high-pro?le assignments. including commission's such as the creation of 24 paintings celebrating the life of Maria de Medici for the Palais du Lu?xembOur'g in Paris. In 1630, Rubens returned to Flanders for good and bought Elewijt Castle outside Brussels. There he painted his largest commission to date. namely 112 works to decorate the Royal Hunting Lodge in Madrid. the Time de .la Parada. These were ?nally ?nished in 1638 only and were duly dispatched to Spain. Rubens' health was beginning to deteriorate. and he died in 1640 aged 62. at his home on Antwerp?s Wapper Square.

THE CONTEMPORARY BAROQUE SPIRIT OF LIVES ON. ANTWERPS Rubens' house - today one of the city's major museums - is a baroque classic, and there are still many stylish churches in the city frOm this era. Indeed. many of Antwerp's great contemporary artists continue to be inspired by Rubens? extravagant baroque tradition. creating an authentic and distinctivejoie de vivre in the city. The word Baroque is derived from the Portuguese word 'barocco? meaning, irregular pearl or stone?. This is perhaps the perfect metaphor for Antwerp as it evokes something mysterious. multifaceted and dif?cult to pin down. while remaining classic and amazingly contemporary at the same time. The tradition for new and eccentric architecture continUes and baroQue- like buildings are being added to Antw'erp?s skyline all the time, including Richard Rogers' Court House and Zaha Hadid's Port House - both well?worth the visit in themselves.

He was obviously fascinated by nature, humanity and humour. and therefore doesn't quite ?t the mould as this or that 'type? of artist. Two early sources suggest that Bruegel was most likely born between the years of 1525 and 1530 for it is recorded that he became a free mas- ter in the Guild of St Luke. Antwerp in 1551. This leads us to conclude that he probably served his apprenticeship with the master craftsman and well-known tapestry designer. architect and sculptor. Pieter Coecke van Aelst between 1545 and 1550. It was perhaps during this apprenticeship that Coecke's wife. Mayken Verhulst might have trained him as a manuscript iIIUmi- nator. THE GUILD m, Membership of?the Guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp will certainly have exposed Bruegel to the in?Uence of the local RomanISts for whom travel, to Italy and apprecia- tion of classical and humanist culture were essential. And so it is no surprise to ?nd that he travelled to Italy around 1552 where he is known to have met the miniaturist Giulio Clovio when in Rome. for three paintings by him were listed in the latter?s will . of 1578. Sadly none of these works have survived. Around 1554 Bruegel returned to Antwerp. probably by way of the Alps. Thisjour- ney resulted in a number of exquisite mountain landscape drawings. These sketches. which formed the basis for many of his later paintings were not records of actual places but "composites" made in order to study the organic life of forms in nature. From the mid-16?? century onwards. Bruegel began to be more professionally active. By 1552. he had established his ?rst contacts with the print publisher Hieronymus Cock and it is from this epoch that we have his earliest surviving drawings which can still be seen today: the. COIIection of Bruegel's graphic production which is kept by the Royal Library of Belgium. ranks as among the richest world-wide. It is also home to a collection of about 90 rare high-quality prints as well as three master drawings by Bruegel himself. It is understood that, on his return from Italy, Bruegel began to concentrate more on painting.

With his precise observation ?and natural rendering of reality. his brilliant use of colours and mastery of oils - a technique he perfected - van Eyck took painting to new heights. His em? ployer. the Duke of Burgundy (Philip theGoodl. ensured that he was well - paid and able to paint ?whenever he pleased". He. was also asked to handle a number Of diplomatic visits! including one to Lisbon in 1428 to arrange the Duke's farthcoming- mar- riagewith lsabella of Portugal.

It is a lZ-panel that he worked on together with his older brother Hubert. also a painter. lan ?nished the commission in 1432 following Hubert?s death in 1426. It was the most famous oil painting of the epoch. Since its ?rst viewing in 1432. the magni?cent altarpiece. measuring 4.4m 3.4m {14'5? 11'2?) is con- sidered one of the world's ?nest art treasures. Unfortunately it has been the victim of 13 crimes and seven thefts since its installation, The latest theft occurred on the 11?? April 1934 when two panels from the work were stolen. one of "John the Baptist? and anoth- er of the "lust Judges". A ransom of a million Belgian Francs was demanded. and in a show of good faith by the perpetrator, one of the panels, that of ?John the Bap- tist". was returned. but no money was ever paid! $0 sadly the last piece of the puzzle is still missing At STAM, the Ghent city museum, visitors will be able to track the theft of the Ghent Altarpiece side panels. and try to.WOrk out where the missing panel: ?The Just Judg- es? is to be found.

It's a work of art that has thrilled audiences ever since its creation in 1432. ?Since October 2012. Bart Devolder has coordinated the restoration project at the (Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage). a Belgian institution whose expertise is world-renowned. "We discovered that large parts of the work were painted over during a previous, 17"" century restoration. That was the accepted way of restoring a painting at the time. But the good news is that the original layer is still in good condition and so we can. in principle, remove the top layer.~ says Devolder. ?and get to the original underneath." Although in the world of resto- ration a conscious choice is some? times made to keep the traces of time. the restorers are convinced that. in this case. it is the right thing to do to remove the top layer. ?We have already made FOR MORE THANFOUR HUNDRED YEARS, WE ACTUALLY BEEN VIEWING THE REAL GHENT ALTARPIECE. small windows in certain areas of colours. details. folds and depth that have been revealed are of remarkablelquallty and perfectly match the style of van Eyck.

Philip the Good. Duke of Burgundy. set up his court in Bruges and invited artists to come and work there; It was the beginning of BrUges? golden age, In 1432 Jan van Eyck settled as painter to the court. All of his known paintings were produced here. Jan .van Eyck seems to have employed all his skills to evoke admiration; in his wake other prominent Flemish Masters would follow to live in Bruges or worked for Bruges' clients and the Flemish Primitives made names for themselves. One of the admirers was. without doubt. Hans Memling. who was greatly in?uenced by lan van Eyck. Originally born in Germany. Memling settled in Bruges in 1465 and became one of the most sUccessful artists in this prosperous town. The Flemish Primitives . ?ourished and left masterpieces behind for posteriory. Their artworks that form the foundation . of European painting are integral to the cultural history of Bruges. To this day many of their world-V renowned artworks can be admired in the m'u'seUms and churches t_h_r0ughbut the city where they can be experienced in the unique context of an UNESCO World Heritage city.

Oudenaarde - 1638. Antwerp). BetWeen the 16th and 18th centuries, Oudenaarde was one of the most important tapestry weaving centres in Fla_nders.and it is generally accepted that Brouwer was the son of a tap- estry cartoon painter. Thus it is appropriate that the Ad riaen Br'ouwer exhibition is to be staged here. He grew to be the bridging ?gure between the 16th Century Bruegel-tradition and the land? scape and genre scenes of the 17th cantury. During his lifetime he was a highly regarded art- ist. very fashionable and well. collected by his contemporar- ies Rubens and Rembrandt. This exhibition will provide the visitor with a fascinating insight into Brouwer's oeuvre. which is very accessible and diVerse and the fact that today he is less well known than his contemporaries. makes him one of the most fascinating painters of the Low Countries. Brouwer is an integral part of the identity of Oudenaarde and Flanders. and his character is embedded in local culture and economy: Adriaen Brou- wer beer. Brouwer pastry. the Adriaen Brouwer beer festival and the Adriaen Brouwer paths and tracks in the beauty of the Flemish Ardennes. Thus the Brouwer exhibition and programme in Oude?naerde will offer a varied selection of both cultural and gastronomic events.
