With Koen Fillet and Leen Kelchtermans, Head of Research and Publications at The Phoebus Foundation.

In this episode, Dr Leen Kelchtermans and host Koen Fillet uncover the personality of Johannes Gansacker I, an ambitious entrepreneur from seventeenth-century Antwerp. His portrait, painted by Antoon Van Dyck, tells a story of self-image and social ascent. A sharp look at two men driven by the same urge to rise.
