The exhibition Eternal Spring brings together for the first time in five centuries a special series of tapestries (and other masterpieces) from the collection of cardinal and art collector Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle (1517-1586). The series, now part of the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, forms an allegorical garden that reflects the fascination for the antique and the ideals of the Renaissance. The renovated gardens of Museum Hof van Busleyden interweave the exhibition with the outside world like a living masterpiece.
Sebastiaan Vrancx (1573-1644), Italian garden with gallery and figures,, ca. 1600-1647, Rubenshuis, Antwerpen
