Objectives
The Fund’s primary object is to ensure that the Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard, the multi-volume catalogue of the oeuvre of Rubens, is completed. The first of the 42 projected volumes appeared in 1968. The Fund hopes to raise the necessary financial resources for the publication of the final 17 parts by relying on a system of patronage. An intensified fundraising campaign has appreciably accelerated the publication pace, and the final volume in the series is expected to be published in 2020.
The Rubenianum Fund supports the annual Rubenianum Fellowship, a scholarship for promising American art historians who come to Antwerp to conduct research on the Flemish art of the 16th or 17th century.
