A unique exhibition scheduled from March 28, 2015 till June 28, 2015 on, dozens of family portraits painted by the master himself will make their way back to the Rubens House from all over the world.

The exhibition includes some 50 paintings and drawings from top-ranking museums. For the first time, these amazing works will be exhibited together, and not least at a place where they belong: Rubens’ former home in Antwerp. The exhibition space is on the first floor in the historic building.

The exhibition will not only portray Rubens as the master painter, but also with Rubens the family man, the architect, the manager, the collector, the graphic artist and the society figure, as well as the inspiring role model that he was. These works were not commissioned but were a labour of love and served as keepsakes.

The exhibition is curated by international Rubens experts and includes some 50 paintings and drawings from top-ranking museums, including the Uffizi in Florence, the British Museum in London, the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the Hermitage in St Petersburg and the collections of the Prince of Liechtenstein, and the Royal Collection, generously loaned by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
