The great Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c.
1526/31-1569) 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. About the series Born back in 1985, the Basic
Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection
ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a
detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the
artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a
concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory
captions
