The Art Gallery of Cornelis van der Geest

The Prado Museum is displaying the work of the Flemish artist Willem van Haecht on loan from the Rubenshuis Museum in Antwerp until 22 February 2026. The painting is temporarily on display in the Central Gallery of the Villanueva Building (Room 28) to celebrate the artistic splendour of Flanders and its patronage by the Spanish royal family.  

Following its inclusion in the Rare and Indispensable exhibition, an art-historical journey through masterpieces from Flemish collections at the Museum Aan de Stroom, the Art Gallery of Cornelis van der Geest painting, the most eloquent example of what is the known as “Collectors’ Gallery”, will be on display at the Prado Museum until the architectural restoration work at its original museum is completed.
