Our tour to these three great Flemish art cities was inspired by the long-awaited reopening of Antwerp’s Royal Museum of Fine Arts (KMSKA) in September 2022, and while this wonderful museum may be the highlight of the tour for many, the mediaeval charm of Bruges and Van Eyck’s masterpiece ‘The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb’ in Ghent are not to be overlooked. All three cities offer a vivid insight into the history and art of Flanders in its Golden Age. The spectacular reimagining of the KMSKA in Antwerp puts its extensive collection of Old Masters front and centre, we will see works by Rubens, Memling, Van Eyck and Van Dyck, alongside pieces by Ensor, Fouquet, Titian and Modigliani among others. In Ghent, Jan Van Eyck’s altarpiece has recently been returned to St Bavo’s Cathedral, where visitors can see this remarkable altarpiece with greater clarity than before, after a painstaking renovation restored the work’s original vibrance. Among the highlights of picturesque Bruges are the Groeningemuseum with its own collection of important works by Van Eyck, the Gruuthusemuseum and Michelangelo’s ‘Madonna and Child’ at the Church of Our Lady.
