Introdution

Pieter

Bruegel

the

Elder

Bruegel specialized in genre paintings populated by peasants, often with a landscape element, but he also painted religious works. Making the life and manners of peasants the main focus of a work was rare in painting in Bruegel's time, and he was a pioneer of the Netherlandish genre painting. His earthy, unsentimental but vivid depiction of the rituals of village life—including agriculture, hunts, meals, festivals, dances, and games—are unique windows on a vanished folk culture and a prime source of iconogr-aphic evidence about both physical and social aspects of 16th century life.

For example, His winter landscapes of 1565 (e.g. �e Hunters in the Snow) are taken as corroborative evidence of the severity of winters during the Little Ice Age. Using abundant spirit and comic power, he created some of the early images of acute social protest in art history. Examples include paintings such as �e Fight Between Carnival and Lent (a satire of the con�icts of the Reformation)and engravings like�e Ass in the School and Strongboxes Battling Piggybanks.On his deathbed, he reportedly ordered his wife to burn the most subversive of his drawings to protect his family from political persecution resulting from con�icts between the Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformation.

�e painting Netherlandish Proverbs illustrates dozens of then-contemporary aphoris-ms (many of them still in use in current Dutch or Flemish), and Children's Games shows the variety of amusements enjoyed by young people.
