This November, in a first-of-its-kind exhibition, Indians will get to see the original works of grandmasters from the Flemish Baroque School of the 16th and 17th century, at the Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sanghralaya, formerly the Prince of Wales Museum ,courtesy the Port of Antwerp Authority, along with the Royal Antwerp Museum of Fine Art, the City of Antwerp and the Belgian Federal government .So go ahead and enter this exhibition into your schedule!
In the 16th and 17th century, Antwerp was the hub of the flourishing art industry of a prosperous Spanish empire, and generated painters like Rubens who ran large commercial enterprises and studios, churning out commissions and employing a number of students and artists.
Other than Peter Paul Rubens,the exhibition will feature the works of Anthony Van Dyck, Jacob Jordaens ,Jan Breughel, Jan Cossiers, David Teniers and — a relatively obscure by global standards Michaelina Wautier, the only woman in the show. 28 selected masterpieces as well as 20-odd etchings and prints will be part of the exhibition.

Have you ever wondered about the assets of the really wealthy?Personally I have always been interested in knowing just where wealthy people have their money.My take is that wealthy people didn’t get that way or don’t stay that way without knowing a thing or two about keeping and growing their money safely.That is why I was interested when I came across her statement, given before the returning officer, while filing her nomination papers in 2009 for the Haryana Legislative Assembly elections.
What do India’s wealthy like to buy with their buckets of money?
