Who is Pieter Brueghel the Younger?

A work dismissed as a copy has now been recognised as a real Brueghel

The discovery of a 17th century painting by Pieter Brueghel the Younger, which had been dismissed as a copy, will now see the painting included in the Holburne Museum's celebration of the Brueghel art dynasty.

Jennifer Scott is director of the museum and first noticed the painting. She and the author Michael Frayn told the Today programme all about one of the most well-known families in art history.
