About this audio guide
This guide to the Snijders&Rockox House in Antwerp follows the painter Frans Snijders, a taverner's son who moved onto Keizerstraat in the sixteen twenties, and the mayor Nicolaas Rockox, the collector living next door. It wanders through market stalls of fish, piles of fruit and game, and a seventeenth-century hunting law painted as an action scene. Start in the first room, the Neercamer, in front of the boar and the dogs.
