I could have gone on with the Breughels--there were more--but there is much else of interest in the Old Masters section.
 |
Our Breughel interest was fueled by a wonderful collaboration
between the Museum and Google, "Unseen Masterpieces," which
took a closer scholarly/creative look at several of the Elder's
paintings, and particularly the "ousting of the angels"; these were
shown in the Breughel Box, as above, a separate large room at
the beginning of the Older Masters section, and at kiosks in various
places; really enriched the experience, illuminating relations
among the works, the culture, philosophical and religious issues... |

van Dyke paintings, a portrait of Father Jean-
