Goed geïllustreerd. ( ) I picked this up inspired by Michael Frayn's book 'Headlong' where the narrator enters into a possibly hairbrained pursuit after a possibly Breugel painting. This study is very readable, and helpful on detail. It's a pity that the format of the book and the printing mean that the colour plates are hard to make out, and some more historical contextual background would have been very welcome indeed. However, Gibson is being careful that unsubstantiated ideas that Breugel's paintings were full of heavy political comment are not repeated as though they are proven fact. His love of Breugel's treatment of landscape, Flemish and Italian tradition and his inspiration from his Alpine travels come over strongly, and it's delightful to walk with Gibson through the paintings he explores. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Although Pieter Bruegel's pictures have been celebrated throughout the past four hundred years, the artist himself remains a shadowy and misunderstood figure. In a volume which will widen the understanding and enhance the enjoyment of Bruegel's many admirers, Walter Gibson illuminates the sixteenth-century world in which the artist lived. He analyzes the different strands of Bruegel's inspiration, examines his works, and considers his influence on later artists. Dispelling the notion of Bruegel the simpleton peasant, the author shows us Bruegel the cultivated artist, satisfying an urban society's pleasure in moralizing tales and proverbs, rooted in the rich, bourgeois, brilliant Antwerp of the Flemish Renaissance.
