Bruegel

The great Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525/31-1569) was an extraordinarily inventive painter and draughtsman who made history through his beautiful and evocative landscapes, as well as his religious motifs remarkable for their authenticity and observation of the everyday life of the time.

Immersed in the society of small towns and rural areas, Bruegel was particularly noted for his depiction of the peasant world and popular culture, earning him the nickname Bruegel the Peasant.

Whether it was his portrait of hunters shivering in the snow or the scene of a bustling fair, Bruegel elevated the agriculture, festivals, gatherings and games of the rural world to the status of art.

Likewise, Bruegel's imposing religious and moral motifs, such as The Triumph of Death and The Tower of Babel, are as striking and influential today as they were in the 16th century, inspiring contemporary culture from the cinematic war scenes of The Lord of the Rings to Don DeLillo's novel Underworld.

From the corn harvest to the conversion of Saul, from picturesque wedding processions to Christ's journey to Calvary, this book brings together Bruegel's wide range of motifs to present his striking compositions of biblical and earthly scenes.
