What We Actually See in a Museum
A photograph taken in passing at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Three Flemish paintings on a gray wall: a wide peasant feast crowded with figures at the top, a dark hanging-carcass still life on the lower left, a market scene with a poultry seller on the lower right. One of them — the market scene — is confirmed Pieter Aertsen from the wall label. The others are probably from the same orbit: Aertsen, or Beuckelaer his nephew, or one of the other Antwerp painters working in the same genre tradition in the mid-sixteenth century.
