Early-Netherlandish Painters-the finest diptychs (KMSKA, Antwerp, 23-5-2007)

Rating:★★★★★

This exhibit has just ended but there are many books about the subject which you can buy and the paintings are in museums all over this world.

Early-Netherlandish painters or what we call "Flemish Primitives" have made some amazing paintings. The colours are vivid, the scenes quiet and religious, the emotions clear and confronting. There is such beauty in them!
If you get a chance to see some of their art you should most certainly not hesitate to take it!

This exhibit was actually quite small but we saw a lot of nice works anyway. One of my all time favourites (see pic) was there too. I had never seen the other part of the diptych because the two parts are in different museums so I was very happy at this opportunity!
