Picture by jackfre
Spectators of the Art.
Room in Museum Rockoxhuis.
Nicolaas Rockox was a great humanist, Mayor of Antwerp nine times in the first half of the 17th century, and friend and patron of Rubens. Together with his contemporaries Rubens, Plantin, Moretus, Jordaens and Snyders, Rockox was one of the key figures who helped to create the spirit of his times, at the height of the Baroque period in Antwerp.
Nicolaas Rockox's house was restored in 1970 to its former splendour as a tribute to the Flemish region. The house was then furnished with art works and furniture which could have been found in a patrician house in the 17th century. The result is an outstanding example of a Flemish interior of the 17th century, displaying the best that Flemish artists and craftsmen of the period had to offer.
