Pieter Bruegel the Elder is my favorite artist. I had never even heard of him before this class. I think the thing that draws me to his paintings is the "Busy-ness" of the paintings; you could look at each one for hours and still not see everything in them!
The Harvesters, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 1565, From the collection of: The Metropolitan Museum of Art
This painting was in our text book and I used it for an assignment. My first experience with Bruegel the Elder.
The Fall of the Rebel Angels, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 1562, From the collection of: Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium
I could look at this painting all day - so many different things to see, but I especially like the fish-bird-pokemon looking creature in the upper-right!
The Tower of Babel, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, circa 1568, From the collection of: Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen
Notice the similarities to the Roman Colosseum. A political statement?
This is a really different perspective - focusing on the people listening to the sermon, rather than the person giving the sermon.
