The life and times of Pieter Bruegel the Elder(c. 1526/30–1569)
were marked by stark cultural conflict. He witnessed religious
wars, the Duke of Alba’s brutal rule as governor of the
Netherlands, and the palpable effects of the Inquisition. To this
day, the Flemish artist remains shrouded in mystery. We know
neither where nor exactly when he was born. But while early
scholarship emphasized the vernacular character of his painting and
graphic work, modern research has attached greater importance to
its humanistic content.Starting out as a print designer for
publisher Hieronymus Cock, Bruegel produced numerous print series
that were distributed throughout Europe. These depicted vices and
virtues alongside jolly peasant festivals and sweeping landscape
panoramas. He would eventually increasingly turn to painting,
working for the cultural elite of Antwerp and Brussels.This
monograph is a testament to Bruegel’s evolution as an artist, one
who bravely confronted the issues of his day all the while
proposing new inventions and solutions. Rather than idealizing
reality, he addressed the horrors of religious warfare and took a
critical stand against the Catholic Church. To this end, he
developed his own pictorial language of dissidence, lacing
innocuous everyday scenes with subliminal statements in order to
escape repercussions.This XXL-sized collection gathers all 39
paintings, 65 drawings, and 89 etchings, each piece a unique
witness to both the religious mores and the close-knit folk culture
of Bruegel’s time. Marking the 450th anniversary of his death and
his first ever monographic exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches
Museum in Vienna, this monograph is the most immersive journey into
Bruegel’s unique visual universe.
