Who was Rubens?
Although he was also active in Italy, Spain and England, and work by his hand can be admired in all the big museums in the world, this metropolitan was an Antwerpian in the first place.
Together with your guide you will take a walk in the historic centre of Antwerp in search of traces of Rubens and some of his contemporaries. Among others you will meet Jacques Jordaens and Antony Van Dyck, and each of them will show another aspect of Rubens.
We finish in the cathedral you will be face to face with the best Rubens ever painted.
Somewhere else on this website you will also find a three hours’ version of this walk. This passes by the Plantin Moretus Museum and ends in Saint Charles Borromeo Church, where yet other aspects of Rubens can be discovered.
