He is sometimes referred to as "Peasant Bruegel" to distinguish him from other members of the Brueghel dynasty, but is also the one generally meant when the context does not make clear which "Bruegel" is being referred to. From 1559 he dropped the 'h' from his name and started signing his paintings as Bruegel. Life There are records that he was born in Breda, Netherlands, but it is uncertain whether the Dutch town of Breda or the Belgian town of Bree, called Breda in Latin, is meant. He was an apprentice of Pieter Coecke van Aelst, whose daughter Mayken he later married. He spent some time in France and Italy, and then went to Antwerp, where in 1551 he was accepted as a master in the painter's guild. He traveled to Italy soon after, and then returned to Antwerp before settling in Brussels permanently 10 years later. He received the nickname 'Peasant Bruegel' or 'Bruegel the Peasant' for his alleged practice of dressing up like a peasant in order to mingle at weddings and other celebrations, thereby gaining inspiration and authentic details for his genre paintings.

  • Peter Bruegel the Elder
    PETER BRUEGEL THE ELDER Pieter Bruegel the Elder 1525–1530) was the most significant artist of Dutch and Flemish Renaiss- ance painting, a painter and printmaker, known for his landscapes and peasant scenes; he was a pioneer in making both types of subject the focus in large paintings. He was a formative influence on Dutch Golden Age painting and later painting in general in his innovative choices of subject matter, as one of the first generation of artists to grow up when religious subjects had ceased to be the natural subject matter of painting. He also painted no portraits, the other mainstay of Netherlandish art. After his training and travels to Italy, he returned in 1555 to settle in Antwerp, where he worked mainly as a prolific designer of prints for the leading publisher of the day. Only towards the end of the decade did he switch to make painting his main medium, and all his famous paintings come from the following period of little more than a decade before his early death, when he was probably in his early forties, and at the height of his powers. As well as looking forwards, his art reinvigorates medieval subjects such as marginal drolleries of ordinary life in illuminated manu- scripts, and the calendar scenes of agricultural labours set in land- scape backgrounds, and puts these on a much larger scale than before, and in the expensive medium of oil painting. He does the same with the fantastic and anarchic world developed in Renaissance prints and book illustrations. Pieter Bruegel specialized in genre paintings populated by peasants, often with a landscape element, though he also painted religious works.

  • Still Looking for Pieter Bruegel the Elder
    STILL LOOKING FOR PIETER BRUEGEL THE ELDER By Jamie Lee Edwards A thesis submitted as part of the requirements for the degree of M.Phil(B) in the History of Art School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music University of Birmingham 2013 0 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c.1526-69) is one of the most renowned sixteenth-century Netherlandish artists. Paradoxically, however, he is also one of the most mysterious and our dearth of known historical information about Bruegel has generated much debate about how his art relates to the religious and political conflicts raging in the Low Countries during the 1560s. Most previous scholarship has attempted to place Bruegel’s allegiances on one side or the other of a Catholic versus Protestant binary, and attempted to demonstrate that Bruegel’s art was conceived and understood as partisan propaganda. By taking a reception-focused approach, this thesis seeks to address this shortcoming in Bruegel scholarship. Chapter 1 is primarily concerned with the intended audience for Bruegel’s art, their beliefs and the ways in which they displayed and interpreted art.

  • Hieronymous Bosch © Laurence Shafe, 2019
    Hieronymous Bosch © Laurence Shafe, 2019 • This talk is based on an exhibition that opened in 2016, the 500th anniversary of the death of Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450-1516). • The first thing to say is that we know very little of the artist, when he painted each work and their meaning. This has not prevented a great deal of research and even more speculation driven by the power, uniqueness and suggestiveness of his work. I first, briefly, put his work in the context of other artists of the same period and then look at each of his major works in turn. • He was born in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (pronounced ‘set-erten-bosh’) as Jheronimus van Aken (pronounced ‘jeronimus van arken’) but signs his paintings as Jheronimus Bosch. He was famous in his lifetime and is known in Spain as El Bosco and Philip II (1527-1598) was a great admirer and bought many of his works. • The anniversary of his death was celebrated by a major exhibition in ‘s- Hertogenbosch which brought together 20 of his 25 surviving panels. A major exhibition was also held at the Prado in Madrid which holds The Garden of Earthly Delights, which can never be moved. • Over the years art historians have speculated on his work and have claimed he incorporated heretical messages such as the Adamite, Cathar or even Rosicrucian beliefs. Other theories find a basis in astrology or alchemy or even that he was a drug addict and they represent his drug-induced dreams. Recent researchers 1 nearly all agree that his worked incorporates the strict moral codes of the period and is concerned with sin and its consequences.

  • Ekphrasis and Art Criticism in the Twentieth Century
    Why They Are Not Painters: Ekphrasis and Art Criticism in the Twentieth Century by Laura Clarridge A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Laura Clarridge (2015) Why They Are Not Painters: Ekphrasis and Art Criticism in the Twentieth Century Laura Clarridge Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This study of twentieth-century poetry proposes a re-examination of how we interpret ekphrasis, or poems that address existing works of visual art, by tracing a historical trajectory of these poems as responses to the art and critical climate of their time. Though much scholarship has elaborated the stakes of ekphrasis as a confrontation between the “sister arts,” between narrative time and visual stasis, and between desiring self and its enigmatic other, many modern iterations of the genre suggest its hybridity as a work of art and of criticism that poets use to consider the value and function of images in their world. The representative poets in this study - Marianne Moore, W. H. Auden, William Carlos Williams and Frank O’Hara - were not only adapting strategies gleaned from their encounters with Cubist, Surrealist, Dadaist, Abstract Expressionist, Neo-Dadaist, and Pop art and artists, but were also actively involved in critical debates about how this art was being interpreted, at times in their prose essays, but more frequently in their ekphrastic poems. These poets were especially interested in, and often suspicious of, the critical trend of formalism, which became increasingly orthodox in its interpretation of modern art in the postwar period.

  • Brueghel's Winter
    BRUEGHEL’S WINTER Introduction This poem is about the painting The Hunters in the snow also known as The Return of the Hunters by Pieter Brueghel the Elder. The Hunters in the snow and the series to which it belongs were made for a merchant in Antwerp that had asked Brueghel to make paintings which were study of the Labours of the months: they are The Winter, The Hay Harvest, The Gloomy Day, The Return Of The Herd, The Harvesters, And The Hunters in The Snow. Facts about the painting The painting is full of activities of winter. This painting was made during renaissance. 1516s was the time of religious revolution in the Netherlands. It is more different from Northern painting. There is no such landscape in Netherlands. This painting is a reminder that Brueghel had actually made his way from Northern Europe across the Alps to Italy. So this painting is not an actual view but a composed, partially imagined, composite landscape activated by human figures. Interpretation of the images We start from left hand side of the painting. I. The hunters in the snow • The painting shows a wintry scene. • The hunters are in the foregrounds taking up a large portion and they are returning from a voyage accompanied by their dogs. • The hunters appear to trudge tiredly and the dogs appear downtrodden and miserable. • One man carries the ‘corpse of a fox’ illustrating the paucity of the hunt. • We can also see the footprints of a rabbit. Probably, it must have been escaped from the hunters. • There are also several adults and a child preparing food at an inn.
