around 1525 -1569 · Brabant, Antwerp, Italy and Brussels
Tiny crowds, monumental seasons and lucid parables make Pieter Bruegel the Elder a major inventor of landscape and human observation.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, sometimes cataloged as Pieter I Brueghel, was born around 1525 in the Breda region and died in Brussels in 1569. Received master in Antwerp in 1551 -1552, he traveled to Italy then worked with the publisher Hieronymus Cock. His drawings intended for engraving diffuse fantastic landscapes, vices, parables and inventions, while his paintings give the peasant world, biblical stories and seasons a new dimension. The Carrying of the Cross places Christ almost imperceptible at the heart of an immense procession: the sacred subject is lost in the crowd as he can be lost in history. The Carrying of the Cross places Christ almost imperceptible at the heart of an immense procession: the sacred subject is lost in the crowd as he can be lost in history. The Carrying of the Cross places Christ almost imperceptible at the heart of an immense procession: the sacred subject is lost in the crowd as he can be lost in history. The Haymaking, resulting from the cycle of Seasons commissioned by Niclaes Jongelinck, associates warmth, work, harvest and depth of the landscape. The Three Soldiers tightens the observation on figures whose function costume, posture and gaze immediately define. The Tower of Babel transforms the ancient construction site into an image of human intelligence pushed to the point of excess. Bruegel never just describes. Every detail connects daily activity, proverb, morality and social structure. The panoramic view allows us to embrace the community, but the tiny gestures reveal its contradictions. Humanists, merchants and collectors seek this painting which unites scholarly culture and popular language. Despite a short career and a limited painted corpus, bruegel's influence is immense thanks to the print, his sons and the workshops which preserved or reinvented his compositions. The "Pieter I Brueghel" selection notably compares The Carrying of the Cross /The Procession to Calvary and The Haymaking. His reading favors the material.
Bruegel makes the world readable without simplifying it: the crowd hides the sacred, the season shapes the work and the most comical detail can contain the most serious lesson.
