Het komt allemaal goed – Rick de Leeuw - The Phoebus Foundation

In the latest episode of our podcast, Koen Fillet talks with writer and singer Rick de Leeuw about Het komt allemaal goed, a unique exhibition in the Keizerskapel in Antwerp. Rick was deeply inspired by twelve artworks from our collection and wrote personal texts and new songs to accompany them. Art historian Dr Katharina Van Cauteren brings her sharp insights and provides the necessary historical context.

Together, they delve into the stories behind the works and explore how image, word and music can reinforce and unexpectedly touch one another. The result is an intimate, almost theatrical experience that invites you to look and listen differently.


Curious? We warmly invite you to visit and discover what awaits.
