Guided tour to “Ensor’s States of Imagination”

Guided tour to the exhibition "Ensor's States of Imagination".

The Museum Plantin-Moretus is the first museum in the world to be inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Plantin-Moretus family started their printing office in the 16th century. 400 years later, visitors can explore the original house and workshops as if it were yesterday .

This fall, the Museum Plantin-Moretus presents the exhibition “Ensor's States of Imagination” about Ensor's remarkable graphic adventure. For several years, the young Ensor experimented lavishly with etching techniques. In his own words, "Practice makes perfect! Especially for etching. Experience is lacking and requires repeated trials and efforts."

“Ensor's States of Imagination” gathers for the first time the most remarkable results of these experiments: preparatory drawings, copper plates and various states of impressions.
