Reuniting Rubens

For the first time in over 200 years, two landscape paintings by Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) have found themselves in the same room. Paint

For the first time in over 200 years, two landscape paintings by Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) have found themselves in the same room. Painted as a pair, The Rainbow Landscape and A View of Het Steen in the Early Morning parted ways in 1803, eventually ending up in the Wallace Collection and National Gallery, respectively. In partnership with VISITFLANDERS, the two paintings are temporarily on display at the Wallace Collection until 15th August 2021, after which they will separate once more. Attracting the likes of Jon Snow, who filmed his visit to the exhibition for Channel 4, the paintings have captured the attention of art lovers and tourists alike, providing what may be a once in a lifetime experience.

Reflection "Het Steen" in Antwerp by robertzonnekeyn

Antwerpen. Het Steen.

Anvers. Le Steen.

I didn't get out much yesterday (it was a long day at a work function and then we immediately went out to dinner afterwards) but I did get this nice shot of Het Steen when I walked by. I'm probably going to go back tomorrow and go inside. Expect more pictures!
