Netherlandish and Flemish Painting in the Collections of Wawel Royal Castle. Exhibition Booklet
The exhibition presents a broad panorama of artistic creativity in the times of Pieter Bruegel and Peter Paul Rubens.0In the 16th century the Southern Netherlands, which encompassed modern-day Belgium, were one of the most important art centers in Europe. The city of Antwerp played the leading role. It was where Bruegel painted and where Rubens had his famous workshop?which Polish prince Ladislaus Sigismund Vasa visited in 1624. The city, located on the mouth of the River Scheldt at the cross-roads of Europe?s most important trade routes, was experiencing a period of unprecedented prosperity. The favorable economic situation also fostered artistic creativity. Numerous artists from other cities settled in Antwerp, the art market blossomed, and the first collector?s cabinets filled with painting, sculpture, and other precious objects were established. Where Antwerp collectors led, art lovers from other countries quickly followed.00Exhibition: National Museum Gdansk, Poland (10.07. - 19.09.2021) / Wawel Royal Castle Museum, Cracow, Poland (30.11.2021 - 27.02.2022).
