museum collection. Research into the provenance of collection pieces is therefore an important and
exciting area of research. In this article,
Siska Beele draws on brand-new information to reconstruct the vicissitudes of
Cherries, a painting by
Lawrence Alma-Tadema now on view in the exhibition
The MODERNS. Art from the
Netherlands

Rubens Documentation on the Move
7 September 2011
At the beginning of September, the KMSKA staff, including the
collection research team, moved to temporary accommodation in the Anna Bijns Building of the
Flemish public administration near Antwerp Central Railway Station. The museum's Rubens
documentation has also moved to this location for the duration of ongoing renovation work to the
museum building. The museum's Rubens documentation encompasses all of the research materials,
textual sources and photographs that the Rubens project team members have collected in the course
of their research activities into the
Rubens subcollection.
The documents are stored by inventory number of the collection pieces. The Rubens visual database
has also been transferred temporarily to the Anna Bijns Building. The database contains hundreds of
images produced in the course of the research programme. The museum's Rubens documentation is
accessible to fellow researchers by request.
