• Samenvatting
  The Museum Mayer van den Bergh in Antwerp is
  a house full of art. Intriguing art that inspires
  wonder and emotion. Today, the museum is internationally
  renowned as the home of Pieter Bruegel
  the Elder’s famous painting Mad Meg. To loyal fans,
  it is a cherished, well-kept secret. Visitors always
  marvel at how so much beauty was gathered in one
  place. Who amassed this unique collection? And
  how and why was this museum established?
  The museum is a monument to two people:
  Henriëtte Mayer van den Bergh (1838−1920) and
  her son, Fritz Mayer van den Bergh (1858−1901).
  Fritz, a man who took a keen interest in the Middle
  Ages and the Renaissance, assembled the entire
  collection. After Fritz’s untimely and unexpected
  death, his mother Henriëtte had a new building
  designed to hold his artworks. In so doing, she
  succeeded in preserving this exceptional collection
  in one place, while also keeping the memory of
  her son alive.
  This book explores the world of collectors, antiques
  dealers, art historians and museum founders
  during the belle époque. Ulrike Müller delves deep
  into the archives to tell the story of the Museum
  Mayer van den Bergh and its founders: their family
  background, their international network, their
  passions and their modus operandi.
