CELEBRATING THE CENTRUM AT THE RUBENIANUM: 50 YEARS ON

The Centrum voor de Vlaamse Kunst van de 16e en de 17e Eeuw was
founded in 1959 to promote the study of Flemish art of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Based at the Rubenianum in
Antwerp, the Centrum will mark its 50th anniversary with a
symposium on 22 January 2010. A series of short lectures will
explore the Centrum's achievements over the past five decades
and outline its aims for the future. The occasion will also
celebrate the publication of the latest volume of what is
undoubtedly the Centrum's most prestigious project, the Corpus
Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard.
