Antwerp, the city of Rubens

Antwerp, the city of Rubens

Antwerp is associated with the name of Rubens as closely as Amsterdam with the name of Rembrandt, Harlem-Hals, Venice-with the names of Giorgione, Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto. Much reminds of the artist in the city. And above all, his house is one of the many masterpieces left to his descendants. The House of Rubens in Antwerp was turned into a museum relatively recently, but managed to occupy a solid place among the Belgian museums. The public interest in it is huge. If you like, it can be called a national shrine, like Yasnaya Polyana or Mikhailovsky in Russia.
