Why did Hans Memling paint everything in such minute detail? How
did Rubens, in just a few brushstrokes, create special effects that
Steven Spielberg would envy? And why was the Southern Netherlands
the artistic centre of the world for three centuries? From Memling
to Rubens: The Golden Age of Flanders tells the story of Flemish
art from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, as you've never read it
before. It's a rollercoaster ride through 300 years of cultural
history. Leading the charge are breathtaking masterpieces from the
collection of The Phoebus Foundation, unknown gems by the likes of
Hans Memling, Quinten Metsys, Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony Van
Dyck that plunge you into a world full of folly and sin,
fascination and ambition. Along the way you'll bump into dukes and
emperors, rich citizens and poor saints, picture galleries like
wine cellars, and Antwerp as Hollywood on the Scheldt. This is a
stirring tale about the image and its meaning, and the link between
culture and society. Above all, it's about us, and about who we are
today - as people. Published on the occasion of the exhibition From
Memling to Ruben - The Golden Age of Flanders,during Autumn 2020,
in the Kadriorg Palace in Tallinn (Estonia).
