In the early seventeenth-century a new genre of painting emerged in Antwerp: the gallery picture, typically showing an "art cabinet" (constcamer) filled to the brim with paintings and other art treasures. Such paintings - representing imaginary museums where art lovers, artists and other personages meet to view and discuss art - give a splendid impression of the rich culture of collecting that prevailed in Antwerp in that period. This overview of the development of the gallery picture focuses primarily on the paintings of Willem van Haecht, an important founder of the genre.
