From the Print Cabinet's depot

Rubens and Tuymans lie side by side in the Print Cabinet’s storage depot. The Print Cabinet has a rich collection of drawings and prints by Antwerp’s old masters. In addition, it collects modern and contemporary work from Antwerp. Every quarter, the Print Cabinet shows a different selection, based on a theme relevant to the season.

Jozef Linnig Portrays Antwerp

Jozef Linnig’s drawings have an important place in the Print Cabinet. They are the best contemporary documentation of how Antwerp looked in the 19th century, before the emergence of photography. In 1864, the city’s appearance changed dramatically, with the demolition of the Spanish fortifications and the straightening of the quays.
