... Lovely painting in oil by James Tissot..."the Embarkation at Calais" (also called The Traveller, c. 1883-85)... with matching stamp and special first day postmark issued by Bpost to celebrate the reopening (September 2022) of "The Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp" (KMSKA)... for the past 10 years, the existing 19thC building is being returned to its former glory and is undergoing a generous expansion... this painting is one of the many important international masterpieces of the museum... Bedankt Johan!【ツ】
The Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA) is the biggest art museum in Flanders.
With masterpieces from the Flemish primitives and Antwerp Baroque to the extensive collection of modern art by, for example, Rik Wouters, Henri De Braekeleer and René Magritte.
The crown jewel is the biggest collection of James Ensor in the world.
