The award ceremony for the second René Carcan International Prize for Printmaking took place at the Bibliotheca Wittockiana. All of the works shortlisted by the jury will be exhibited there between 5 and 21 February 2016.

Thanks to its Heritage Fund, the Foundation has been able to acquire two drawings that are on show at the exhibition 'De Floris à Rubens'. The works are 'La Conversion de Saul' by Abraham van Diepenbeeck (1596-1675) and 'Jupiter et Callisto', a 16th century work made by an artist from the circle of Bernard van Orley and Pieter Coecke van Aelst.

Various funds enable us to preserve significant pieces of our heritage and enrich our public collections.

In line with its yearly tradition, the Heritage Fund will be presenting its latest acquisitions at the BRAFA, to be held between 23 and 31 January at Tour & Taxis, Brussels. Among other masterpieces to be discovered at our stand are a watercolour by Spilliaert, a lace bedspread and a Coptic headdress.

From the proposals sent in by Belgian embassies all over the world, the jury of experts chose 3 winners.
