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.

我要集齊taschen25係列！
评分願望是集齊這一係列！
评分非常喜歡。印刷很好，可以看到老勃魯蓋爾完整的作品集，愛不釋手。文字也很有意思，並沒有花很多筆墨講解老勃魯蓋爾的生平，而是側重畫的技巧構圖和畫傢通過畫所想錶達的意義，推測和詮釋都結閤瞭當時的時代和藝術背景。是目前看下來basic art係列中最喜歡的幾本之一。
评分本書對bruegel繪畫的曆史背景有非常好的敘述。要理解他的繪畫，應該放在當時荷蘭獨立戰爭以及天主教和新教衝突的背景上看。bruegel的很多繪畫實際上是隱含瞭荷蘭民族主義的信號。
评分小時候看特德薑的《巴比倫塔》，當時還不知道薑，更不知道勃魯蓋爾。對原作的印象並不深。唯一印象最深的就是這座通天塔的畫。
