Description

16th-century Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder redefined how people perceived human nature.

Bruegel turned his critical eye to mankind’s labours and pleasures, its foibles and rituals of daily life.

Portraying landscapes, peasant life and biblical scenes in startling detail, Bruegel questioned how well we really know ourselves and also how we know, or visually read, others. This superbly illustrated volume, now in paperback, examines how Bruegel’s art and ideas enabled people to ponder what it meant to be human.

It will appeal to all those interested in art and philosophy, the Renaissance and the painting of the Dutch Golden Age.
