Abstract
After Lille and Valenciennes, Bergues is one of the few museums in the Nord to own a collection of ancient drawings. It is the Verlinde legacy of 1877 that gave the Drawings Cabinet of this little city of Flanders its privileged position by enriching it with several hundred Flemish, Dutch, Italian and French works, stretching over various periods. As regards the Italian school two Venetian masters are worth noting, Sebastiano del Piombo and Domenico Tiepolo together with Domenico Maria Camuti, illustrious representative of Bolognian baroque, the Florentine Jacopo da Empoli or also the powerful Neapolitan Luca Giordano. The Bergues foundation then deserves to be rediscovered, at least by anyone somehow interested in the art of drawing, all the more so as it also boasts many other Northern or French items.
