The sense of a scene: Pieter Bruegel’s mastery of composition and community
The great Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525–1569) was an astoundingly inventive painter and draftsman, who made his art historical mark with beautiful, evocative landscapes as well as religious subjects, both notable for their vernacular language and attention to everyday, contemporary life.
Immersing himself in rural or small-town communities, Bruegel is particularly notable for his depiction of peasant experience and folk culture, earning the artist nickname “Peasant Bruegel.” Whether hunters shivering in the snow or a boisterous country fair, Bruegel raised the farming, festivals, gatherings, and games of peasant culture to the status of high art. Bruegel’s imposing religious and moral subjects, meanwhile, such as The Triumph of Death and The Tower of Babel are as awestriking and influential today as they were in the 16th century, inspiring contemporary culture from The Lord of the Rings cinematic battle scenes to Don DeLillo’s novel Underworld.
From the corn harvest to the conversion of Saul, from quaint wedding processions to Christ’s road to Calvary, this book brings together the rich range of Bruegel’s subjects to introduce his powerful compositions of both biblical and earthly tableaux.

小時候看特德薑的《巴比倫塔》,當時還不知道薑,更不知道勃魯蓋爾。對原作的印象並不深。唯一印象最深的就是這座通天塔的畫。
评分非常喜歡。印刷很好,可以看到老勃魯蓋爾完整的作品集,愛不釋手。文字也很有意思,並沒有花很多筆墨講解老勃魯蓋爾的生平,而是側重畫的技巧構圖和畫傢通過畫所想錶達的意義,推測和詮釋都結閤瞭當時的時代和藝術背景。是目前看下來basic art係列中最喜歡的幾本之一。
评分或者那個時候佛蘭德斯地區的畫傢,畫風都有點漫畫的感覺。當同期的從業人員都在畫高大上,亮堂堂的畫作時,勃魯蓋爾的盡管顔色是多彩的,但整體大部分還是偏暗的,但總的來說確實是不一樣的煙火
评分看電影時常發現,主角的情緒起伏往往以他人的日常為背景,但在勃魯蓋爾的畫裏,這種日常極可能是前景(eg伊卡洛斯),又或者,他的畫作裏沒有太過明顯的“主次”之分,一切相當自然地交融在一起(以聖經故事為題材的畫作中,那些著名人物往往也隱於人群,不甚突齣),任何濃重的情緒仿佛都消解彌散於全景中。解說裏提到其畫作所體現的斯多葛學派理念,這麼一想倒是很好解釋。喜歡他筆下的四季循環與種種日常(eg伯利恒人口普查那幅畫邊上的宰豬、遞酒),尼德蘭諺語和地獄諸景那幾幅奇詭而富有趣味(他好像畫過許多次背刀送上門的動物,比如豬豬orz)。不論如何,他有一雙非常忠實的眼睛。ps 但他所有錶現「歡欣」場景的畫,我都覺得有點奇怪,他定格的好像是一個被斬斷瞭未來、冰封的瞬間。
评分the proverb 1559 //37 to bell the cat (when one plans something which everyone finds out about, one's undertaking will turn out badly.)
