Bruegel the Elder: His Life and Art

This program presents Bruegel’s life and work, from his early landscapes in Italy to the great allegorical works that made him one of the most original and influential painters of the Flemish school. Often compared to Hieronymus Bosch, Bruegel’s paintings expose human foibles and his landscapes remain unsurpassed for their majesty. Detailed analysis highlights the important points of Bruegel’s most famous works, such as Peasant Wedding Feast, and provides insight into his 16th-century world. An indispensable resource for all students of Western art history. (28 minutes)
