30: Raqib Shaw Takes on Art History

Jan Brueghel the Elder, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Hendrick van Steenwyck, and Hieronymous Bosch; it's not uncommon for all these masters, all closely connected, to be mentioned in the same breath. But what about Raqib Shaw? This week, we explore how Shaw - born in Calcutta and now based in London - is connected to these Flemish and Dutch painters of the 16th century. We chat about being as rich as Croesus, and the power of intensely rich iconography. See images ⁠here⁠!
