Two of his etchings, The Abduction of Psyche and Daedalus and Icarus, both signed and dated in Rome, are irrefutable evidence of his presence in the Eternal City. His work shows no trace of the influence that foreign beauty might have inspired, showing clear proof that he was not attracted to Italy by an invincible force. Bruegel was simply too artistic not to be curious to want to know Italy.
