Go there and contact
Huge workshop resulting from a contract with the Belgian State, exhibiting the masterpieces of Antoine Wiertz
The Wiertz Museum is the former home and studio of the artist and man of letters, Antoine Wiertz (1808-1865). A controversial figure of the romantic movement, he returned from his trip to Italy fascinated by mythological subjects. This huge studio (as well as his paintings) is the result of a deal with the Belgian state. In exchange for financing the construction of this studio, the painter agreed to bequeath his work to the State. It became a museum at his death. His masterpiece, exhibited in the museum, is La Belle Rosine, in which a naked young woman contemplates a skeleton with fascination.
