Saints, sinners, lovers and fools populate an exhibit at the museum this fall, in a show named for them. The exhibition celebrates three hundred years of Flemish Masterworks, from about 1400 to 1700.

Flemish art originated from Flanders, a region in northern Belgium today. From this region emerged the artists whose works adorn the gallery walls in Montreal, including the celebrated painters Anthony Van Dyck and Peter Paul Rubens.
