Description
Pieter Bruegel the Elder's winter paintings are a masterclass in Flemish Renaissance art. This volume presents new interpretations and insights into these iconic works, including Winter Landscape with Skaters and Bird Trap (1565) and The Census at Bethlehem (1566), both held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. By applying interdisciplinary research to Bruegel's winter landscapes, this book offers a fresh understanding of his relationship to his time. It explores how these paintings have been understood over time and proposes new insights into issues such as their depiction of real-life situations and their portrayal of power structures. Abundantly illustrated, Bruegel's Winter Scenes is both a thorough examination and a celebration of these widely admired images.
