Monday Morning Museum: Pieter Bruegel The Elder






Pieter Bruegel The Elder – circa 1525 Breda, Netherlands to Friday 9 September 1569 Brussels, Belgium

Flemish Northern Renaissance Painter

One of Bruegel’s works that I find most interesting is – Netherlansish Proverbs, 1559 – a very overt display of meaning in art. If you have problems deciphering the images, here are the proverbs.




Last Monday’s Artist – Vincent Willem van Gogh
Next Monday’s Artist - Edward J. Steichen
