Brueghel Masterpiece Nets £3.7 Mil

An action-filled painting representing the pinnacle of 17th-century Flemish artist Pieter Brueghel’s career sold at auction in the UK this week for £3.7 million. The Kermesse of St George depicts the drunken revelry of a village feast day, and has been out of the public eye since 1930, when it was bought by a Belgian family. The new buyer has not been revealed.
