'Britain's Lost Masterpieces' (ctd.)
October 11 2016
Video: BBC
This week on 'Britain's Lost Masterpieces' we're looking at two pictures that belong to the National Museum of Northern Ireland, in Belfast. They're thought to be copies of works by Peter Breughel the Younger. In the clip above, restorer Simon Gillespie and I get a nasty shock when we examine the back of one of the paintings.
Wednesday, BBC4, 9pm.
