Artistic Focus and Provenance
The museum maintains works by several distinct artists, each representing a different approach to subject matter. Hans Bol and Roelant Savery provide a look into the compositions of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. These earlier works focus on historical and biblical narratives. In contrast, the nineteenth-century works in the collection, such as those by Évariste Carpentier and Nicaise de Keyser, reflect the changing interests of the Belgian art scene during that era.
The presence of Bernaert de Rijckere in the catalog highlights the diversity of the institution's holdings. Each piece is kept as part of a curated record of the artistic output associated with the area.
