Description
At 42, Toby Ferris embarked on a remarkable journey to track down the 42 surviving paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a fellow artist nearing the end of his own life. Over the next five years, Ferris travelled to 22 galleries in 19 cities across 12 countries, tracing the artist's works as they appeared in different locations. This fascinating account is a unique blend of art criticism, philosophical reflection, and poignant memoir, offering insights into mortality, fatherhood, and contemporary life.
