Journey through the vibrant artistic and cultural heritage of Antwerp, Leiden and Delft – three northern European cities that played a pivotal role in shaping European art from the medieval era to the 17th century.

We’ll learn how these cities were at the heart of artistic innovation, producing key paintings that now reside in the Wallace Collection and beyond. Delving into magnificent altarpieces created for churches, striking portraits by Rubens, Van Dyck, and Rembrandt, and the captivating scenes of everyday life depicted by de Hooch, Steen, and Vermeer, you’ll learn how each city’s unique character, patrons and artists helped creative innovation flourish over several centuries.
