Close up on a copper engraving “Temperance” (1560) by Phillip Galle after Bruegel. The detail and many concurrent stories happening in these pictures are mind-boggling. There is a one for each the deadly sins and the virtues too. Some of them are very NSFW (and instagram), but are at the same time amusing and satirical as well as quite hellish… On loan from the @albertinamuseum

The wildly popular #Breugel exhibition at the #Kunsthistorischesmuseum. Some great touches in the display of the engravings (for example) that allows visitors to get really face-to-face with the fine detail of the work, perfect height for 5'4" me, but would make them inaccessible to wheelchair users. The sheer number of people made the visit a little trying at times, despite time slots… Especially the number of guided tours; in only six rooms there must have been 7 or 8 groups of 15 people. But the selection of works on display was truly impressive, including the display of 4 of series of 6 seasonal paintings (1 is lost, 1 remains in New York), shown together for the first time in 350 years. The exhibition has been advertised as “once in a lifetime”, and that’s a fitting description, but go early.
