OMD from the Belgian Royal Library exhibited
Tussen de lijnen. Tekeningen van oude meesters uit het Prentenkabinet van de Koninklijke Bibliotheek van België
Between the lines. Drawings by Old Masters from the Belgian Royal Library Print Room
26 November 2014 – 14 February 2015 | Brussels
As a spin-off of the AGORA digital inventory project of the drawings in the Royal Library’s collections, five drawings (by Joris van Hoefnagel, a Bosch follower, Karel van Mander, Jacques Jordaens and Laurent-Benoît Dewez) have been selected and studied in depth, resulting in the publication of a set of five individual booklets, written by the experts Wouter Bracke, Joris van Grieken, Ger Luijten and Sarah van Ooteghem. The five drawings are the centre pieces in an exhibition where they are combined with other drawings, dating from the 16th to the 18th century.
