Summary: Pieter Bruegel the Elder and his work have attained a legendary status in our collective consciousness. The most important Netherlandish painter and draughtsman of the 16th century had already achieved great fame during his own lifetime, but was largely forgotten until his rediscovery by art historians in the early 20th century. Just over forty paintings by Bruegel's own hand survive. His complex, multi-layered compositions, which draw on the earlier pictorial traditions of Hieronymus Bosch, are often moralizing, and teem with characters. The variety of subjects and their originality of execution inspire wonder to this day. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, this spectacular catalogue allows readers to immerse themselves in the immensely rich pictorial world of the Netherlandish master. In uniting the artist's works in different media--paintings, drawings, and prints--it highlights his perfect handling and executive, his virtuoso use of color and his draftsmanship."
Item Description: This catalogue is published on the occasion of the exhibition Bruegel, held in Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, from 2 October 2018 to 13 January 2019.
The book is complemented by an e-book featuring five further essays by the curators, who present the fruits of recent research on the artist's materials and techniques, focusing on the bruegel collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum with particular reference to provenance, conservation history and past art-historical research.
