Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:
There have been many artists who created a painting called "The Last Supper". In Leuven you can find the "Altarpiece of the Holy Sacrament", a polyptych with as central part "The Last Supper" by Dieric Bouts the Elder (about 1415 - about 1475). There is also a version of da Vinci's "Last Supper" (probably painted mostly by his pupils, but he is said to have participated in the process) found in Belgium, in the abbey of Tongerlo.
"Adoration of the Lamb" is the central part of the "Ghent Altarpiece" by Hubert and Jan Van Eyck. You can admire this polyptych in the Sint-Baafs Cathedral in Ghent.
"Assumption of the Virgin" is one of the masterpieces by Peter Paul Rubens in the Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Cathedral in Antwerp.
The "Saint-Ursula Shrine" is a relic shrine made by Hans Memling, and is one of the highlights of the Bruges museum Sint-Jans Hospital.
Michelangelo Buonarotti has produced numerous marble statues, but only one of these can be found in Belgium: the "Madonna and Child" can be admired in the Sint-Salvator Cathedral in Bruges.
Pieter Brueghel the Elder created many paintings that have found their way into various European museums; his "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is part of the permanent collection of the Bozar in Brussels.
Many artists have created their version of the "Last Judgment". In the Groeninge Museum in Bruges you can find the notorious version by Hieronymus Bosch opposite a more delicate version by Pieter Pourbus.
A painting of more recent date, and of a quite scandalous nature, is "Pornocrates" by Felicien Rops, which is one of the most recognisable paintings in the Namur museum named after the painter.
One of my personal favourite paintings in the Musée de Beaux Arts in Liège is "The Old Gardener" by Emile Claus.
And "Saint George and the Dragon" is one of the few paintings by Sir Anthony Van Dyck that still hangs in Belgium, more specifically in the Sint Jacobs Church in Antwerp.
As for the incorrect answers, they hang in different museums in Europe and the USA.
For "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali, you have to visit the MoMA in New York.
The "Night Watch" by Rembrandt can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is proud to show Vermeer's "The Art of Painting".
The Prado Museum in Madrid has Titian's "The Adoration of the Magi" on display.
"The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli is in the Uffizi in Florence, and Bernini's statue "The Ecstasy of Sainte Therese" is in the Santa Maria della Vittoria church in Rome.
Jacques-Louis David's "Coronation of Napoleon" is of course in Paris, in the Louvre.
And for Holbein's "The Ambassadors" you have to visit the National Gallery in London.
