At the end of the 15th century, the underground ruins of Emperor Nero's famous palace were discovered in Rome: the Domus Aurea. The walls were painted with sumptuous symmetrical decorations teeming with a host of bizarre animals and mythical creatures. This was the beginning of a new visual language, which was known as grotesque after the site found in grotto-like ruins. Hans Vredeman de Vries and Cornelis Floris spread the grotesque style with its endless variations through their printed designs. In the 16th century, grotesque ornaments became popular not only in painting and architecture, but also in glass painting, metalsmithing and book printing. Today we still link the term grotesque to the capricious, bizarre, monstrous - but also to the caricatural and laughable. Bosch and Bruegel were the great pioneers of the grotesque in printmaking with their fantastic drolleries. James Ensor, Fred Bervoets, René De Coninck, Carll Cneut and others are part of a long tradition of artists who were, and still are, inspired by the grotesque: both as a concept and as a figural style.

Nel 2017 la Casa di Rubens ad Anversa ha ricevuto in prestito da una collezione privata due eccezionali capolavori : L'angelo annuncia il martirio a Santa Caterina d'Alessandira, un dipinto generalmente noto come "il Tintoretto di David Bowie", e il Ritratto di dama con la figlia, uno dei rari doppi ritratti di Tiziano, che raffigura una donna con la propria figlia. Per dare il dovuto rilievo al ritorno di queste due opere iconiche a Venezia, la loro città d'origine, la Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, in collaborazione con la Flemish Community, la Città di Anversa e VisitFlanders, ha organizzato una grande retrospettiva sull'arte fiamminga. Da Tiziano a Rubens. Capalavori da Anversa e da altre collezioni fiamminghe presenta una panoramica dettagliata su quanto di meglio la pittura fiamminga ha da offrire.

Viens presentata inoltre una selezione di pregevoli dipinti provenienti da collezioni private fiamminghe.
