From Memling to Rubens
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.
The Bold and the Beautiful
Portraits from the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, what should we do with those long forgotten people from centuries ago? They stare at us, sometimes with a little monk, or ignore us completely. Without saying a word. Yet they have so much to tell us. About their fascinating lives, who they were or hoped to be.0This book wants to offer the reader an appointment with history, or rather, a blind date with portrayed men and women from days gone by. Blind Date shows an exceptional sample of portraiture from the past. The Phoebus Foundation possesses a wealth of such portraits, so many and diverse that they could compile an exhibition and a book that illuminate the genre of portrait painting in all its facets, from selfie to group portrait.00Exhibition: Snijders & Rockoxhuis / Keizerskapel, Antwerp, Belgium (14.03.-31.12.2020).
Rubens and the Dominican Church in Antwerp
This book is about the Dominican church in Antwerp (today St Paul’s). It is structured around three works of art, made or procured by Peter Paul Rubens: the Fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary cycle (in situ), Caravaggio’s Rosary Madonna (Vienna) and the Wrath of Christ high altarpiece (Lyon). Within the artist’s lifetime, the church and monastery were completely rebuilt, creating one of the most spectacular sacred spaces in Northern Europe. In this richly illustrated book, Adam Sammut reconceptualises early modern churches as theatres of political economy, advancing an original approach to cultural production in a time of war. Using methodologies at the cutting edge of the humanities, the place of St Paul’s is restored to the crux of Antwerp’s commercial, civic and religious life.

Portrait of Henricus Liberti. A Musical Painting by Anthony Van Dyck
The Antwerp Baroque portrait specialist Anthony Van Dyck painted Henricus Liberti in around 1627-1632 as a self-assured and talented musician, who was well aware of his worth. Today, just a handful of Liberti?s musical pieces have been preserved and the archives hardly mention any traces of the life of this Antwerp keyboard virtuoso and composer. We do not even know for sure when and where he was born.00The fact that the musician was not forgotten is largely due to Van Dyck?s magnificent Portrait of Henricus Liberti, which is now part of The Phoebus Foundation?s collection. This Phoebus Focus zooms in on the prestigious history of Van Dyck?s portrait and brings together the details of Liberti?s life and oeuvre. We also focus on the masterly way in which the painter depicted the inspired virtuoso.
