Bruegel to Rubens: Masters of Flemish Painting
Exhibition: 28th Sep 2007 to 6th Apr 2008
Source: http://www.royalcollection.org.uk
This first exhibition ever mounted of Flemish paintings in the Royal Collection brings together 51 works from the 15th to 17th centuries, including masterpieces by Hans Memling, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jan Brueghel, Van Dyck and Rubens, to be shown at The Queen's Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh.

By the 1550s the Netherlands enjoyed a level of wealth that remained unmatched in the West for centuries. The Eighty Years War with Spain, from 1568 to 1648, all but destroyed the region's infrastructure and creative industries. The paintings in the exhibition were produced in the Southern (Spanish-ruled) Netherlands during this period of extraordinary turbulence and its immediate aftermath, when peace was finally restored to the region.
