Bruegel to Rubens: Great Flemish Drawings

About Bruegel to Rubens: Great Flemish Drawings

Showcasing over 100 exceptional Flemish drawings from the 16th and 17th centuries.

From Pieter Bruegel’s remarkable print designs and landscapes and Rubens’s first sketches to heartfelt friendship albums shared between artists, this major exhibition presents drawings from many of the Flemish masters, rarely seen in public.

The exhibition will show 120 drawings, with over 30 on display for the first time, including some which have only recently been discovered. 

These are some of the most exquisite drawings kept in Antwerp and Oxford collections by famous artists such as Pieter Bruegel, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck and Jacques Jordaens. They will provide insights into how these artists honed their drawing skills throughout their careers. 

‘Bruegel to Rubens’ is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get close to these delicate and often intimate drawings and the objects they inspired.
