This exhibition examines the mass production of religious paintings in several of Antwerp's workshops between 1500 and 1525. Many of these paintings were destined for export. Until recently most of the painters have remained anonymous. Their art is decorative, mannered (rather misleadingly, they were also known as the 'Antwerp mannerists') and excessively ornate. This art was very different from the art of the Flemish Primitives who preceded them and the monumental art of Quinten Massys, his contemporaries and imitators. The exhibition - the first on this subject - comprises some forty paintings and forty drawings in European ownership and is organized in cooperation with the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht.
