The next room and the whole of the groundfloor of the right
wing are devoted to the Rupens CorzEction (L’@uwvre gravé de
Rubens), founded in 1877 by the city of Antwerp and the Belgian
state. It contains about 2000 reproductions (engravings, etchings,
woodcuts, photographs, etc.) of most of the extant works of Rubens
and affords a most instructive insight into the wonderful versa-
tility and inexhaustible powers of the great master: Each plate
bears an explanatory extract from Max Rooses’s catalogue. — The
