Eugeen Van Mieghem

Euronav sponsored a large exhibition of the paintings of Eugeen Van Mieghem, a renowned Belgian painter from the 19th and early 20th century. The exhibition was held in the Maritime Museum of the city of New York and called "Antwerp Gateway to the New World, Eugeen Van Mieghem and the Emigrants of the Red Star Line".

The exhibition showed the masterpieces of Eugeen Van Mieghem inspired by the exodus of almost 3 million people to the New World between 1850 and 1935 witnessed by the artist when he lived opposite the Red Star Line premises in Antwerp.

Euronav was proud to be able to support this major Belgian painting exhibition held in New York because of the strong evident parallels the painter Eugeen Van Mieghem and Euronav share. Eugeen Van Mieghem as well as Euronav both share the same Antwerp roots and the maritime sector and more specifically the port of Antwerp which is also a common passion.
