Dear colleague in Belgium,

I am afraid not many of the names you mentioned appear in our school textbooks, except for the artists Brueghel, Rubens, Van Eyck and of course, Egmont, both in our history classes (Habsburg history) and in German literature classes. Good luck for your project, best wishes, Ulrike Paul

I haven´t forgotten your first letter but do not teach history for more than 20 years so it lasted a little bit longer. Following artists appear in our books:

Breughel, Rubens, Van Eyck, Mercator, Jansenius, Egmont.

Sorry, that´s all.
