I spent the afternoon in the Musées Royaux, normally a treat, but currently under reconstruction, with only some of the collection on display.
But it includes Rogier van der Weyden’s Pietà:-
A fabulous Bosch Temptation of St. Anthony:-
And a more conventional Bosch Calvary:-
A very languid Memling St. Sebastian:-
A wonderful Antonis Mor portrait of Hubert Goltzius:-
And a roomful of Bruegels, including The Fall of Icarus which Auden saw in December 1938 while staying with Christopher Isherwood (now thought to be a copy and the subject also of a poem by Michael Hamburger).:-
The Fall of the Rebel Angels (1562):-
