Udgivelsesdato: Sep 04, 2019

Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 'The Harvesters' (1565) hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The painting shows a typical Flemish, rural scene, but the work traversed almost the whole of Europe. Thomas discovers that Bruegel's masterpiece in Antwerp once served as collateral for a tax debt. A coincidence that would determine the entire further history of the work.
