Best known for his amusing depictions of peasants, landscapes, and Bosch-like fantasies, Bruegel also created a wide range of highly original interpretations of religious themes in an era marked by religious controversies. Over a career of two decades as both a printmaker and a painter, he found his artistic niche in Europe's leading center of international trade, the emerging capital of capitalism, Antwerp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This new full-length study examines all works by Pieter Bruegel, including the new Madrid canvas, within the wider setting of art during his lifetime. All of his drawings, prints, and paintings on both canvas and panel are examined for form and content with comprehensive analysis. In addition, interpretation of the full range of Flemish paintings and prints during his generation is presented through the lens of Hieronymus Cock, Bruegel's own print publisher, At the Sign of the Four Winds. Within this spectrum Bruegel's uniqueness and mastery emerges clearly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While scholars will appreciate the novel insights of this comprehensive re-examination of Pieter Bruegel, its highly accessible text will introduce newcomers and the general public to the delights of this inventive, trenchant, yet often amusing visual commentator on the human condition. All readers will relish the large-scale reproductions and frequent details in full color of his entire oeuvre in all media. This handsome, large-scale volume will form the definitive study and accessible introduction to the life and art of Pieter Bruegel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Silver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0789211041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780789211040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abbeville Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.10h x 11.20w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2011 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 165","brand":"Larry Silver","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072769093887,"sku":"9780789211040","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39875db0-2638-4881-9343-5f1dd271827e.jpg?v=1685443878","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pieter-bruegel-larry-silver-9780789211040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
