A landmark work in art history, Bruegel presents a comprehensive study of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the towering Flemish Renaissance master whose vivid paintings of peasant life and allegorical landscapes redefined Northern European art in the sixteenth century. Robert L. Delevoy, a distinguished Belgian art historian, chronicles the full arc of Bruegel's career with scholarly authority, analysing the iconographic complexity and technical brilliance that set the artist apart from his contemporaries. The text situates Bruegel's work within the turbulent social and religious context of the Low Countries, illuminating how works such as The Hunters in the Snow and The Triumph of Death carry layers of moral and political meaning. Rich with reproductions and critical insight, this volume from the prestigious Ars Mundi series remains an indispensable reference for students and collectors of Flemish and Renaissance art alike.
