This lecture will show that there is more to Brueghel than peasant painting.
Pieter Brueghel the Elder (who died in 1569) is probably best known for his colourful depictions of peasants making merry or toiling in the fields. He lived in a time of religious and political turmoil that is evident in some of his ‘darker’ works. This lecture will show that there is more to Brueghel than peasant painting.
