Pieter Bruegel the Elder Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525-1569)(1525-1569)

, One of the greatest artistic geniuses of his age.

, Worked in Antwerp and then moved to Brussels.

, In touch with a circle of Erasmian humanists., Was deeply concerned with human vice and

follies., A master of landscapes; not a portraitist.

People in his works often have round, blank, heavy faces.

They are expressionless, mindless, and sometimes malicious.

They are types, rather than individuals. Their purpose is to convey a message.

, He deliberately distorts & elongates his figures, and seats them in a lurid, unearthly atmosphere.

, He ignores the rules of perspective, and heightens the effect by areas of brilliant color.

, His works were a fitting expression of the Spanish Counter-Reformation.
