Constantin Meunier was one of Belgium’s greatest sculptors. He was the first person to depict miners and industrial labourers in visual art, holding them up as icons of modernity. In 1887, he started teaching at the Academy in Leuven. This marked the beginning of his best and most productive period. His masterpiece The Damp Explosion and his magnum opus The Monument to Labour were created here on the Dyle. From 20 September 2014 until 18 January 2015, M is highlighting this lesser known period of his career in Leuven. The exhibition will feature his works, his inspirations, those he influenced and the posthumous museum project.
