The "Stay At Home Museum" - Episode 3: Rubens

This time around, you will be the guest of Rubens, the emperor of Baroque painters. Ben Van Beneden, the director of the Rubens House, welcomes you to the home where the artist lived and worked. Take a stroll through the garden where Rubens found inspiration, admire his art room, and step into the master’s inner sanctum - his workshop. En route, you be able to see a cornucopia of masterpieces, including Rubens’s famous self-portrait: www.visitflanders.com/en/disc...
In the fourth episode, you will learn more about James Ensor’s work, which the director of the Getty Museum calls “a landmark in Western art history”.

Mr. Ben Van Beneden, it was a huge privilege to follow you on this de-luxe visit to Rubens’ house. You are a scholar on the matter who conveys passion for Art which I absolutely love. I appreciated every word you said . Thank you for sharing your knowledge from SPAIN

[@laurachapple6795]

A lovely tour. I like this 'vegetable drama' much better than the one that happens with my niece at dinnertime!

[@SpottedBullet]

I love these art museum tours, thank you.

[@bulendhatipoglu5741]

Among the 3 Episodes of The Stay At Home Museum this one is the most satisfactory. Mr. Ben Van Benedan made a good guidance with an understandable and perfect language.

[@natalieyork956]

i would watch this gentleman talk about toast for an hour. what a great tour, and what a great host!

[@schizotronika]

Ben van Beneden please do more of your passionate presentations ! thanks !

[@zann5566]

These tours are so enjoyable, simply because of the knowledge and passion of the guides. Their enthusiasm enliven the narrations and brings the works to life. I truly hope to visit soon. Thank you so much!

[@roybooth7904]

An exemplary half hour of art appreciation. Instead of a biographical talk, a focus on the pictures, telling us the most interesting things about the artist. The underpainting in the battle scene, eg at 22.30 onwards left me bemused as to what Rubens was doing. While Ben Van Beneden talked about the Van Dyck apostle at the end, I found myself completely convinced of its greatness - and I suspect I might not have seen any of that without his assistance and persuasive directness.

[@murraykornblit8398]

Wonderful tour. Informative, Instructive and Enlightening. A privilege.

[@sherrylhenning5630]

Once again, thank you so very much for the tour! Its so wonderful to get to see art and architecture that would, under normal circumstances, be out of my reach. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

[@cecilefox9136]

I agree with you!

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

Thankyou! Lovely scarf =]

[@ilynov]

Thank you!! I only had 30 minutes free time in Antwerp between rehearsal and the ballet I conducted, so I would only see the front of the house. I am looking forward to coming back now! Thank you for keeping the balance of sharing generously and leaving some mistery there for the actual visit!!!

[@julindaalinaga4451]

Thank you very much for the fantastic tour, amazing🙏🌷🌸

[@patriziamassano6628]

Thank you very much for offering me the chance to visit a second time the Rubens House! I lived in Holland in the past and I visited Antwerp several times... It's a very beautiful town and the Ruben House is really precious, for its architecture, the garden and Rubens workshop. The home of an artist always mirrors his personality, his taste and inner side and it's always a pleasure to discover a bit more of a master of arts

[@ladykarry2755]

Perfekt vorgestellt Mr. Ben. Man spürt Ihre authentische Begeisterung und taucht ein in die Welt Rubens.

[@adagietto2523]

Excellent talk, thank you, certanly provides an incentive to want to see the house in the flesh!

[@jun-peiliao2053]

Very remarkable guidance ! Hope to see all these works in next trip of Antwerp !

[@leonardoyanespuigbo3265]

Excellent visit! Thanks for bringing the museum to home, hope you reopen any time soon so we everybody could enjoy those masterpieces!!

[@amaliaquevedo9446]

Marvelous!!! Thank you very much and stay safe you too!

[@mariejosemorignat2116]

Thank you so much for this very very interesting visit and comment on all these beautiful master pieces in this beautiful museum, that I’m impatient to come to visit this year. I already regret you wont be there for a second visit guide.

[@maomaoj]

Thank you very much! I visited your museum last year and enjoyed it very much. Your informative presentation adds one more dimension to my feeling for this house! I will definitely come again with my family next time and show them what I know of your great collection! Most grateful!

[@rosered103]

Thank you! Wonderful, knowledgeable, story-teller.

[@acedrumminman]

Seeing the Master's unfinished work is such a gift to a painter. His use of grounds and drawing, the fast gestural brushwork, so economic but matter of fact...by far my favorite part of the tour...to see his mind at work...just great.

[@tessmacie9924]

Thank you so much Mr. Van Beneden. It was a great escape with you.

[@stefaniacesarato2248]

Merveilleux!!!! J'aime Rubens beaucoup!

[@Leebearify]

[@ernaniferreirafilho8420]

Que prazer visitar a casa do pintor Rubens. Incrível poder apreciar os quadros em detalhe, ver as pinceladas do mestre bem de perto. O revestimento em couro da sala de entrada também chama a atenção. Parabéns pelo belo programa. Greetings from Brasil !

[@pauls.9228]

Brilliant tour, very beautiful introduction to this wonderful house and to the great Rubens. I am anxious to visit "in person" in the very near future! Thank you very much.

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

Another wonderful, instructive tour! Thank you! I especially like the portrait of Helena, and the description of how she became Rubens' Muse. And not simply because my daughter is named Helena! I am enjoying these tours so much, I learn something new with each one.

[@Cuckoograham]

Wonderful! Thankyou!

[@marialenoredeleonkhoury8225]

Exemplary presentation and surely would visit really SOON!

[@Robert-ps2om]

Ik ben geen museum bezoeker maar die schilderij met die groente drama erop WOW echt mooi , daar moet ik een foto van hebben.

[@georgev.miller6109]

I have toured Rubins home back in the early 1980’s and remember all these rooms and most of the paintings. Much improvements on the exterior have been made. While visiting the church that is painted on marble I noticed the side alter where Rubens is entombed in the floor. A photo display (under glass) showed his remains as the body was removed. Only bones remained but I noticed he had perfect teeth. I thought you might find that of interest.

[@rosered103]

Thank you for that tit-bit of information. I appreciate it.

Merci pour cette visite commentée si intéressante. Magnifique !!! Your English is so perfect also and I loved this video. So thank you very much ! Ik heb het Rubenshuis een paar jaren geleden bezocht en hoop zeker weer een keer terug te komen, want Antwerpen is zo'n mooie stad met zoveel cultuur ook. Maar ik woon in Bretagne in Frankrijk en een bezoek is voorlopig niet mogelijk. Ik ga hem zeker opnieuw bekijken en het was heel fijn zo de dag te beginnen. Dank u wel !

[@edurneeba6167]

Thank you very much, I love this tour. ,Mila esker
