BRAFA Art Talk by Dominique Allart on Breugel's Dulle Griet

Описание: Join the international BRAFA Art Fair for an art historical lecture in French by Dominique Allart, Professor at and director of the Department of History of Art of Modern Times (15th - 18th century) at the University of Liège, given on January 29th, 2019.

The noted Breugel family specialist re-examines the famous painting Dulle Griet by Peter Breugel the Elder (Antwerp, the Mayer van den Bergh Museum), following its recent restoration. In what context did the artist imagine and paint this strange composition? What significance would it have had at the time? These questions lead to an examination of Hieronymus Bosch’s legacy and an exploration of madness and misogyny in the 16th century.

The introduction given by Guy van Wassehove, Curator at the Fonds Baillet Latour, focusses on the work of the art restorer.
