Kerk van Onze Lieve Vrouwe Ter Kapelle

This guide to the Kerk van Onze Lieve Vrouwe Ter Kapelle in Brussels centers on a side-chapel grave marker for Pieter Bruegel the Elder, buried here in fifteen sixty-nine, and follows his son Jan Brueghel's decision to ask his friend Peter Paul Rubens, by then Europe's most sought-after painter, to create a memorial piece for the family plot. It traces Rubens's painting of Christ handing the keys to Saint Peter as it hung over the grave for roughly a hundred and fifty years. Find the memorial chapel to see what still hangs there today, toward the family plot.
