The exhibition shows some 40 works, most of them from Domburg and its surroundings. Each of them tells a story and conjures up a piece of Walcheren’s history. The Zeeland works are framed by some Antwerp, Amsterdam and Brabant paintings. Posenaer was a craftsman. His works are balanced in composition and have a calm, mostly peaceful and traditional look.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication of the same name, no. 5 in the ICEAC Cahier
Series.
