The Flemish of the Queen

Europe, XVII Century. The Spanish, Danish and British Crowns auctioned the most renowned Flemish artists in order to immortalize power of their government. Philip II of Spain, Henry VIII of England, Frederick III of Denmark... all of them succumbed to the mastery of the paintbrush of artists like Bruegel or Rubens. After more than two decades of work, the Royal Collection has achieved to catalogue all these works from their funds, which quite a few of them are exhibited now in Buckingham Palace. Alejandro Vergara comes with us in this route and he explains us how the flemish paintings were always part of the reserve from which all the big royal collections were 'feeded'.
