.-Auckland Castle reopened its doors on Saturday 3 July with a new exhibition dedicated to scenes of everyday life. Beauty in the Everyday: Dutch and Flemish Masters at Auckland Castle, on display in the Bishop Trevor Gallery until 3 October, features paintings which capture scenes of daily life produced in the Low Countries during the seventeenth century.
Although created 400 years ago, they offer a glimpse into a world which is recognisably continuous with our own, similarly concerned with food, leisure, and gathering together with friends and family. Visitors are invited to consider both the contemporary meanings behind the paintings, and how they resonate with our own experiences of normal life in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
