16th-century Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder redefined how
people perceived human nature. Bruegel turned his critical eye to
mankind’s labours and pleasures, its foibles and rituals of daily
life. Portraying landscapes, peasant life and biblical scenes in
startling detail, Bruegel questioned how well we really know
ourselves and also how we know, or visually read, others. This
superbly illustrated volume, now in paperback, examines how
Bruegel’s art and ideas enabled people to ponder what it meant to
be human. It will appeal to all those interested in art and
philosophy, the Renaissance and the painting of the Dutch Golden
Age.
