A leasurely reconnaissance of the Brussels surroundings - during which one soon forgets the hurrying capital - will soon reveal that several famous painters selected its landscape for many of their masterpieces. We would evoke primarily Peter Bruegel the Elder, Velvet Bruegel, P.P.Rubens, David Teniers, and closer to our own times the School of Tervuren, for which the "Foret de Soignes" provided inexhaustible inspiration.
