• Free visit of the exhibition Brueghel & Van Balen, artists & accomplices The museum of Flanders pays tribute to one of the greatest masters of Flemish painting, Jan Brueghel l'Ancien, on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of his death. Nicknamed Velvet because of his velvety touch and his shimmering and bright palette, this artist is a specialist in landscapes, flowers and animals. He often adds the skills of other painters, responsible for representing the characters. One of his greatest collaborators after Rubens was Hendrick van Balen. Artist today unknown, the latter had a brilliant career at the beginning of the 17th century. Thanks to numerous prestigious loans, the exhibition highlights the journey of these two extraordinary painters through the presentation of more than 70 works!
