Rubens' Europe
The exhibition brought together 170 works by Pierre Paul Rubens and his contemporaries, the majority of which were on loan from other museums.The statistics in terms of visitors were described as a "success" and "a satisfactory result", although the word of journalists and specialists were mixed, even sometimes negative, though often celebrating the quality of the works.The Caisse d'Épargne Nord France Europe was a "major sponsor" of the exhibition.[1] The opening took place on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 in the afternoon, three hundred guests attending, including Daniel Percheron and Jean-Pierre Kucheida.Unlike the Renaissance exhibition, whose vast majority of works came from the Louvre, most of the works for Rubens' Europe came from other museums, including those of eight countries: In total, there are fifty-three lenders, mostly museums, and some collectors.
