The Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud is currently preparing very first exhibition devoted to the work of Godefridus Schalcken (1643-1706): Glanz & Glamour , 25.9. 2015 – 20.1. 2016.
Since the publication of Thierry Beherman’s Catalogue raisonné in 1988 new information on life and work of the artist showed up, but the whereabouts of many documented paintings are unknown and definitely more paintings than listed by Beherman are still to be traced.
