Vienna (2)

A good 4 hours spent in the Kunsthistorisches museum seeing fine paintings by Reubens, Rembrandt, and my favourite Pieter Breugel the Elder.

Pic 1 - Rembrandt self portrait R, one of 60 with his second, 16 yo wife L.

Pic 2 - section of Breugel painting "peasant wedding" which reminds me of the "two soups" sketch. Porridge is the wedding dish here.

Pic 3 - man absorbed with smartphone amongst roman busts

Pic 4 - more armed police, this time queuing for ice creams; a popular pastime for many now that it is 26 degrees.

Caught a delightful concert in St Peter's church this p.m. organ, orchestra and vocal soloists. They even sang Amazing Grace in the original German.Read more
