Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 2015
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a Flemish painter of the 16th century, distinguished himself by focusing on the lives of ordinary people when many contemporaries favored religious or mythological themes. Known as "Peasant Bruegel," he immersed himself in rural communities to capture the customs and daily existence of peasant life. His works serve as a unique record of a vanished folk culture, depicting agriculture, festivals, meals, dances, and games with sophisticated artistic design and masterful use of landscape. Bruegel's art also features intricate visual allegory and idiom, influenced by Hieronymus Bosch.
