Pieter Bruegel the Elder

Children’s Games

US$ 732.00

Around eighty separate games are played simultaneously across a town square and out into the street beyond — hoops, knucklebones, blind man’s buff, a child riding a fence, another turning somersaults against a wall. Scholars have identified most of them. The children’s faces are curiously adult, which has kept the picture’s mood open to argument for four centuries.

Artist

Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c.1525-1569) turned Netherlandish painting away from courtly subjects toward peasants, proverbs and panoramic landscapes seen from a high vantage point. His crowds reward long looking: dozens of small incidents, each self-contained, adding up to a picture of how a whole society behaves. Both his sons became painters and copied him extensively.
