A masterpiece that the whole world recognizes, at Art Safari!
 
Jan van Eyck's "Man in a Blue Cap" can be seen for the first time in the heart of Bucharest, for 8 days
 

• Only 20 works by Jan van Eyck (1390-1441) are known worldwide! One of these, among the most valuable and mysterious, will be exhibited at Art Safari: "Man in a Blue Cap";
• The work, part of the collection of the Brukenthal National Museum and 4 other masterpieces by Titian, Veronese and Hans Memling arrive in Bucharest;
•  A real treasure comes from Sibiu, marking a historic moment: it is the first time the works leave the museum to be part of a temporary exhibition in Romania. So far, the works have only travelled outside the country to be exhibited in large international exhibitions;
• The public has only 8 days to visit the temporary exhibition "Brukenthal Exclusive" which will be open between April 20 and 30, from Thursday to Sunday, as part of Art Safari, along with 4 other exhibitions of Romanian, French and Spanish art.

 
"The star of the Brukenthal theft, found only 30 years later, can also be seen in Bucharest for a very short period of time. It is a unique collaboration between Brukenthal National Museum and Art Safari, which we are very proud of. The most valuable works from Romania will be exhibited for only 8 days in Bucharest, during two weekends", said Ioana Ciocan, CEO of Art Safari and Commissioner of Romania at the Venice Art Biennale.
 
 
Five masterpieces, exclusively at Art Safari
 
"The 5 paintings, which can be admired at Art Safari in the temporary exhibition "Brukenthal Exclusive" are part of the permanent exhibition "Masterpieces" of the museum in Sibiu. It is the most important exhibition in the history of the Brukenthal National Museum, in Romania!
The international recognition of the value of the masterpieces in the Brukenthal collection is commensurate with the tumultuous history that marked them. The exhibition "Masterpieces" was inaugurated in 2006 with the reunification of the collection with the valuable works that the museum had been deprived of over time: 19 works transferred in 1948 to the Bucharest Art Museum (among which Jan van Eyck - "Man in a Blue Cap", Hans Memling - "Portrait of a Man Reading" and "Portrait of a Woman at Prayer") and 4 recovered works from the 8 stolen in 1968 (including Titian - "Ecce Homo")", said the curator of the exhibition dr. Alexandru Constantin Chituță, manager of the Brukenthal National Museum.
