The intense light of the North Sea had a profound effect on the Belgian painter James Ensor, as did his hometown Ostend’s colourful carnival tradition, and the contents of his family’s curiosity shop. Step into Ensor’s world in this short video – narrated in his own words, derived from his letters and his poetic musings on art. Or, glimpse inside the show to discover the stories behind four key works in the exhibition in our series of short videos with curator Adrian Locke.
