CODART, Dutch and Flemish art in museums worldwide

In conjunction with the exhibition From Scribble to Cartoon. Drawings from Bruegel to Rubens, the Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp organizes a symposium on 16 January  2024 from 9:00 to 17:00 at the Rubenianum in Antwerp.  Nine experts on Old Master drawings will present ten presentations. The symposium will close with a reception at the museum and a visit to the exhibition.

From Scribble to Cartoon. Drawings from Bruegel to Rubens (Van crabbelinge tot carton- Tekeningen van Bruegel tot Rubens) brings together the 100 most beautiful and unique  sixteenth and seventeenth-century drawings from the Southern Netherlands, from public and private Flemish collections. These rare and precious works — several are on view for the first time — provide an astonishing overview of why, how and by whom drawings in that period were made. The exhibition was curated by Virginie D’haene, Curator of old prints and drawings at the Museum Plantin-Moretus.
