Collection of the Museum of Gruning in Bruges
In the building of the museum there are no closets, warehouses or storage rooms, all expositions are in the viewing rooms. The exhibits constantly update, change, buy new pictures. Flemish masters have perfectly picked up illumination for survey of cloths: the diffused light which falls from above, does not allow to appear to the glare interfering to examine exhibits.
The main pride of the Museum of Gruning in Bruges is considered the works of artists of the fifteenth century:
- Hans Memling, the painting is called "Morel's Altar with St. Christopher and Other Shrines";
- Gerard David, who wrote two canvases "The Court of Cambyses" and "The Baptism of Christ";
- Jan Provost, the work is called "The Last Judgment";
- Hugo van der Huss painted the painting "Assumption of the Virgin";
- Jan van Eyck, who created two works in 1436 - "The Canon of the Canon Van der Palais" and in 1439 - "Portrait of Margarita van Eyck."
The next section is dedicated to the painting of the Baroque and Renaissance periods. Here are the works of Peter Porbus, Adrian Isenbrandt, Lancelot Blondel and Jan Provost. And in a separate room, studded with silver and red velvet, the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch are kept. The collection of works of the nineteenth century consists of works by artists of Bruges, whose work was influenced by classicism. And in 1985 in the museum there were works of Flemish Expressionists.
