The Monet Marmottan Museum and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium have entered into an exceptional partnership agreement aimed at promoting their reciprocal collections through temporary exhibitions that each highlight a particular aspect of them. The exhibition Rubens, Van Dyck, Jordaens… and others: Masterpieces of Flemish Baroque Painting from the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium is the first part. The exhibition offers a selection of forty-one paintings from the former Southern Netherlands of the “Golden Age,” which brings together all the major genres, from history painting to still life, including portraiture, genre scenes, and landscapes, in which artists from the North excelled. The works were chosen for both their representativeness and their high quality. Some are recent acquisitions or are making the trip to Paris for the first time. The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue which includes, in addition to detailed notes on each work written by the curators of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, an introduction on the formation of the collection and an original essay on the enthusiasm of the French public, from the 17th century, for the painting of the former Southern Netherlands, which was from then on the subject of intense commercial exchanges between Antwerp, Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris.
