Curator's talk - ‘Rembrandt and Bruegel at Upton House’

Join Amy Orrock to explore two masterpieces by Rembrandt and Bruegel on display at Upton this summer: Rembrandt’s Self-Portrait, Wearing a Feathered Bonnet (1635) and Bruegel’s recently conserved Dormition of the Virgin (c.1564).
Diving into the details of these captivating paintings, this talk will compare and contrast the artistic output of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c.1525-1569) and Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) and consider what made these two artists so distinctive, and so different.
