Theodoor Rombouts Virtuoso of Flemish Caravaggism
On the event of the 225th anniversary of the MSK Ghent, the museum is presenting the primary ever monographic exhibition on Theodoor Rombouts (1597-1637), the virtuoso of Flemish Caravaggism. Rombouts was a longtime determine within the Antwerp artwork world. However though his portray was appreciated throughout his brief life, the Antwerp Baroque gods Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) and Antony Van Dyck (1599-1641) pushed Rombouts’ creative legacy into relative obscurity after his early demise. The exhibition reveals Rombouts’ creative persona and locations his work in a brand new perspective.
