After the presentation of the triptych with Saint Luke painting the Madonna, The Phoebus Foundation focuses on another masterpiece from its collection: a floral still life by Daniël Seghers (1590-1661). The art of Daniël Seghers was heavily sought-after by the European nobility during the first half of the seventeenth century although today Daniël Seghers is hardly known to the public. With this new theme exhibition, The Phoebus Foundation wants to draw attention to an intriguing chapter of forgotten history. In addition, art restorer and still life specialist Sven Van Dorst wrote an abundantly illustrated Phoebus Focus dedicated to Seghers.
