The exhibition ‘From Bosch to Bruegel’ brought together ‘politically incorrect’ paintings and prints of the highest standard. Approximately forty sixteenth-century paintings and a similar number of prints had been brought to Rotterdam from important museums and private collections. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen presented the first ever exhibition devoted to sixteenth-century genre scenes, a radical departure from the traditions of religious art and portraiture.The museum had paintings from the pioneers of genre painting: Bosch, Lucas van Leyden and Quinten Massys and later masters such as Pieter Aertsen en Pieter Bruegel, supplemented by a broad range of sixteenth-century prints.
