Bruegel: The Complete Paintings. 40th Anniversary Edition

Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jurgen Muller, 2020

Overview

Pieter Bruegel the Elder's life unfolded during a period of intense cultural conflict, marked by religious wars and the harsh rule of the Duke of Alba. Despite the mysteries surrounding his birth and early life, modern scholarship highlights the humanistic depth of his work. Initially a print designer, Bruegel created widely distributed series depicting everything from vices and virtues to peasant festivals and landscapes. He later shifted to painting, addressing contemporary issues like religious warfare and critiquing the Church through a unique visual language that embedded subtle dissent within everyday scenes.
