The sense of a scene: Pieter Bruegel’s mastery of composition and community
The great Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525–1569) 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 small-town 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. Bruegel’s 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 DeLillo’s novel Underworld.
From the corn harvest to the conversion of Saul, from quaint wedding processions to Christ’s road to Calvary, this book brings together the rich range of Bruegel’s subjects to introduce his powerful compositions of both biblical and earthly tableaux.

非常喜欢。印刷很好，可以看到老勃鲁盖尔完整的作品集，爱不释手。文字也很有意思，并没有花很多笔墨讲解老勃鲁盖尔的生平，而是侧重画的技巧构图和画家通过画所想表达的意义，推测和诠释都结合了当时的时代和艺术背景。是目前看下来basic art系列中最喜欢的几本之一。
评分愿望是集齐这一系列！
