This week's theme: The Land
Bruegel (1525/30-69) - "The Fall of Icarus" at the Musees Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Brussels
Icarus perished, Bruegel felt, because he tried to rise above his station and was punished; around him life goes on. The ploughman is content with his plough, the shepherd with his sheep.
Written and narrated by Edwin Mullins
(Tomorrow at 7.10: Rubens - "Chateau de Steen")
