Queen Mathilde of Belgium visits the exhibition ‘Sensation and Sensuality’, Rubens.
Queen Mathilde of Belgium visited the Palais des Beaux-Arts, BOZAR, in Brussels to view the exhibition ‘Sensation and Sensuality. Rubens and his Legacy’. The Queen was accompanied by the BOZAR director-general, Paul Dujardin, and curator of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, Nico van Hout. Over 160 works were exhibited, including iconic paintings by Rubens himself and more particularly works by later artists such as Anthony van Dyck and Eugene Delacroix.The most important painter of his day in Northern Europe – and one of the greatest Olde Masters of the Baroque style of Flemish paintings which emphasized movement, colour, and sensuality – Peter Paul Rubens was a prolific seventeenth-century painter. The Exhibition is a collaboration of the BOZAR Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts In London. Queen Mathilde is a great lover of Pete Paul Rubens’ work. For this occasion she wore a brilliant green dress by Natan.
