When we hear the words “Golden Age,” our ears perk, and yours should, too. Featuring a stunning array of Flemish paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries, this gallery in Geneva, Switzerland, is a major destination for art collectors and connoisseurs this winter. What’s the buzz?

De Jonckheere has a long-established international reputation as master paintings specialists, and they’re pleased to present a blockbuster exhibition showcasing the gallery’s latest acquisitions from some of the biggest names in the Flemish art history pantheon. The exhibition is also a celebration of the gallery’s 40th anniversary, and it will also be opening a new location in front of the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco in May 2017. Along with Geneva, the gallery also has a location in Paris, France.
