Queen Mathilde At The Nervia Laethem Saint Martin Exhibition

Her Majesty Queen Mathilde of Belgium arrived at the Musée d'Ixelles in Brussels to view the exhibition, Nervia/Laethem-Saint-Martin: Traits d'union on Friday, January 8, 2016.

This special exhibition showcases two Belgian arts groups that played an important role on the Belgian artistic scene during the interwar period: The Laethem group in the northern countries which included amongst others, Gustave Van de Woestyne and Valerius de Saedeleer and, in south, towards the Hainaut axis, Nervia, with Anto Carte and Léon Navez. These artists favoured a serene atmosphere and warm palette. Their works are brought together for the first time and reveal the numerous areas of convergence as well as the differences between the two groups.

Nervia/Laethem-Saint-Martin: Traits d'union will be open to the public until the 17th of January, 2016 at the Musée d'Ixelles.
