Product DescriptionThe great Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1526/311569) was an astoundingly inventive painter and draftsman, who made his art historical mark with beautiful, evocative landscapes as well as religious subjects, both notable for their vernacular language and attention to everyday, contemporary life.Immersing himself in rural or smalltown communities, Bruegel is particularly notable for his depiction of peasant experience and folk culture, earning the artist nickname Peasant Bruegel. Whether hunters shivering in the snow or a boisterous country fair, Bruegel raised the farming, festivals, gatherings, and games of peasant culture to the status of high art. Bruegels imposing religious and moral subjects, meanwhile, such as The Triumph of Death and The Tower of Babel are as awestriking and influential today as they were in the 16th century, inspiring contemporary culture from The Lord of the Rings cinematic battle scenes to Don DeLillos novel Underworld.From the corn harvest to the conversion of Saul, from quaint wedding processions to Christs road to Calvary, this book brings together the rich range of Bruegels subjects to introduce his powerful compositions of both biblical and earthly tableaux.About the seriesBorn back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the bestselling art book collection ever published.
