Arte-Fact Fine Art at BRAFA 2026 - Forgotten Stories – A Tribute to Connections
Forgotten Stories takes visitors on a journey across Europe: from the glory of the Dutch Golden Age, through Antwerp’s artistic brilliance and Brussels’
courtly splendour, to the creative exchanges with Spain and Italy. A special thread in the presentation honours female voices, highlighting them not as marginal figures but as essential strands in the tapestry of artistic creation.
“Old Master paintings hold a magic beyond their beauty; they whisper forgotten stories and timeless inspirations. For the visitors of BRAFA, we hope to create a bridge across time, connecting them to the artists and stories of centuries past,” says gallery founder Claudia Walendy.
To be discovered at stand 132.

ABOUT
Arte-Fact Fine Art is devoted to Old Masters’ paintings from the 16th to the 18th century. Combining expertise in the art market with a profound commitment to research, the gallery offers collectors informed guidance and a multidisciplinary approach to acquisition, study, and conservation. Through in-depth archival, art-historical, technical, and iconographical research, each painting is carefully examined in collaboration with restorers, scientists, and scholars. This research-driven process aims not only to preserve the beauty and integrity of a work of art, but also to uncover the layers of meaning, context, and connection that reveal its place in history, which is one of the founding pillars of the gallery. Since its founding, Arte-Fact Fine Art has handled more than 500 works, several of which have entered major museum collections. The gallery is deeply committed to sharing the beauty and stories of Old Masters’ paintings.
