Pieter Bruegel the Elder

The Peasant Dance

US$ 711.00

A couple charges into the foreground mid-dance while bagpipes play, drinkers argue at a table, and a church stands ignored at the end of the street. Bruegel gives the villagers weight, motion and enormous feet, and lets the sacred image on the tree go unnoticed behind them. Whether it is celebration or reproach has been argued 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.
