![]() ![]() ![]() In this new monograph, Larry Silver, an eminent historian of Northern Renaissance art, serves as our guide to that world. ![]() His legacy to Netherlandish art was the enduring popularity of both these genres, as well as the artistic dynasty he founded, beginning with his painter sons Pieter the Younger and Jan Brueghel.Ĭritics have often remarked how Bruegel’s art, so keenly observed and richly detailed, seems to preserve a world in miniature. Although these two artists never met each other - Bruegel was born around 1525, a decade after Bosch’s death - numerous features link them indeed, Bruegel painted several demon-infested hellscapes directly inspired by the older master, and he was known in Antwerp as a “second Bosch.” But Bruegel is most famous for his peasant scenes, often humorous and packed with anecdote, and for his landscapes, which poignantly evoke Nature’s changing seasons. The recent rediscovery in Spain of Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s lost painting, The Wine of Saint Martin’s Day, has created even more interest in this much-loved artist, who was one of the Netherlands’ two great masters of satire and fantasy, along with Hieronymus Bosch. This fascinating full-length study examines all works by the great Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel within the wider setting of art during his lifetime. ![]()
