Follow on Google News | Pieter Bruegel - Great Flemish painterHis paintings of genre subjects have allegorical or moralizing significance. In his tremendous range of invention!
By: Awesome Art Bruegel's range of subjects includes religious histories—Numbering at Bethlehem (Brussels), Way to Calvary (Vienna), with figures clothed in contemporary Flemish dress; parables—The Sower (Antwerp), The Blind Leading the Blind (Naples); genre scenes—Children's Games, Peasant Dance (both: Vienna); landscapes showing the activities of the months—(several in Vienna, Harvesters in the Metropolitan Mus.); and other works. A skilled draftsman and etcher, he used a delicate line to define his figures. His people are stubby in proportion, but lively and solid. His color is remarkably sensitive, as is his feeling for landscape. His compositions are often based on diagonal lines and S-curves, creating gentle rhythms and allowing planes of landscape to unfold into the distance. # # # Awesome Art is a fine art image archive, with an extensive collection of copyright-free high resolution images on CD and DVD and image downloads.
