Pieter Bruegel the Elder

Nils Büttner

Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525/30–1569), the most famous artist of the Bruegel dynasty, is also known as “Peasant Bruegel” because of his habit of seeking inspiration while mingling with the common folk.

His striking images of peasant life as well as a large number of allegorical paintings are among the masterpieces of art history. In this volume, Nils Büttner provides a vivid account of the life of this influential artist and a well-informed introduction to his most important works.
