Sorry, Lawrence, the Brueghels were from Brussels !


I rather think that Lawrence's tongue might have been in his cheek.

Pieter Brueghel the Elder lived and worked here in this house

wall which says so. It is now the Brueghel Museum http://www.o

Pieter Brueghel the Younger, his son, was born in Brussels

For those in the UK, BBC4 has a documentary in a day or two about how
artists have been inspired by winter landscapes, which should be of
