From April 4 for the rest of this month, the English Church in Middelburg will be the scene of the atmospheric exhibition Pasqualina, which focuses on the theme of renewal, springtime and inner resurrection. This exhibition brings together works by André Romijn, Sebastiano Conca, Francesco Bartolozzi, Frederick Mulock, Paul Berthon, Louis Soonius and Miraglia Ermogene, among others - artists who, each in their own way, depict the power of awakening and light.
The title Pasqualina refers to André Romijn's iconic painting, which serves as the iconic image of this exhibition. Her hushed radiance reflects the moment of inner peace and rebirth, befitting spring: a season of hope, growth and new energy.
A particular highlight of the exhibition is Romijn's award-winning multimedia painting Porta Aurea. Fusing classical techniques with a golden symbolism of transformation, this work invites reflection on the passage to a new beginning - a "golden gate" to renewal, literally and figuratively. The use of gold and deep hues creates a powerful visual tension between the earthy and the sublime.
The intimate atmosphere of the English Church enhances the experience of these carefully composed artworks, in which light and life are central. Pasqualina is thus not only an art exhibition, but also a celebration of renewal, spring and the quiet power of change.
