At a street market in Bruges in 1804 you might have admired a painting of a woman. Nothing special about it, except that it was a portrait of the great Jan van Eyck’s wife, painted by van Eyck himself. This was typical. Until the 19th century the public and the average art collector were not all that interested in the 14th and 15th century painting that we now think so highly of, so collectors who were ahead of their time made some remarkable finds. The museum owes much of its magnificent collection of early paintings to one of them. Florent van Ertborn, a knight and former mayor of Antwerp, came from a wealthy family of art connoisseurs and was a great collector. He built up his collection mostly from acquisitions and exchanges in Belgium and Germany. Van Ertborn really broke new ground in this country. Pioneers like him did not have any specialist literature to refer to and they had to rely on their own knowledge, intuition and taste. That makes their achievements as collectors all the more impressive.
When Van Ertborn died in 1840 he left the museum 115 works in his will, every single one a high quality 14th, 15th or early 16th century painting. Most of the works mentioned in this audioguide are from Ertborn’s bequest. Others were already owned by the museum or donated or acquired for the collection later. One example is Memling’s famous triptych of Christ and the angels singing and playing musical instruments. But it was mainly thanks to Van Ertborn that the museum acquired a new focal point to add to its already sizeable collection of paintings from the 16th century and Rubens’ 17th century.

Auf einem Straßenmarkt in Brügge hätten Sie im Jahr 1804 möglicherweise das Gemälde einer Frau bewundern können. An sich noch nichts Besonderes, außer dass es sich dabei um ein Porträt der Ehefrau des großen Jan van Eyck gehandelt hätte – gemalt vom Meister selbst. Das war damals völlig normal. Denn bis ins 19. Jahrhundert hinein waren die Öffentlichkeit und der durchschnittliche Kunstsammler nicht besonders an der Malerei des 14. und 15. Jahrhunderts interessiert, die heute so bewundert wird. Sammler, die ihrer Zeit voraus waren, konnten daher auf bemerkenswerte Fundstücke stoßen. Und einem dieser Sammler verdankt das Museum einen Großteil seiner herrlichen Kollektion früher Gemälde: Florent van Ertborn, ein Ritter und ehemaliger Bürgermeister von Antwerpen, stammte aus einer wohlhabenden Familie von Kunstliebhabern und war ein großer Sammler. Er baute seine Kollektion vor allem durch Käufe und Tauschgeschäfte in Belgien und Deutschland auf. Van Ertborn eroberte dabei wirklich Neuland. Pioniere wie er hatten keine Fachliteratur, auf die sie sich berufen konnten – sie mussten sich ganz auf ihr eigenes Wissen, ihre Intuition und ihren Geschmack verlassen. Das macht ihre Leistungen als Sammler umso beeindruckender.
Als van Ertborn 1840 starb, vermachte er dem Museum 115 Werke – allesamt hochqualitative Gemälde aus dem 14., 15. und frühen 16. Jahrhundert. Die meisten der in dieser Führung erwähnten Arbeiten stammen aus van Ertborns Hinterlassenschaft. Andere befanden sich bereits im Besitz des Museums oder wurden später gestiftet beziehungsweise für die Sammlung erworben. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist Memlings berühmtes Triptychon von Christus, umgeben von singenden und musizierenden Engeln. Doch es ist hauptsächlich van Ertborn zu verdanken, dass das Museum seine beeindruckende Sammlung von Gemälden aus dem 16. und dem von Rubens dominierten 17. Jahrhundert um einen neuen künstlerischen Schwerpunkt erweitern konnte. |
