Bruegel’s Witches Until 26 June Bruges, Belgium We are all familiar with the popular image of a witch; a wrinkly woman with a pointy hat standing over a large bubbling cauldron. Less known is that this image was largely created in the Low Countries. Sixteenth century artists such as Peter Bruegel depicted potion-brewing witches that flew on broom sticks for the first time. This exhibition gives an interesting look into images of witches that continue to shape popular culture today. www.bezoekers.brugge.be/ bruegel-s-witches
