Pieter Bruegel and Popular Culture

Synopsis: Discusses paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder: ‘The Gloomy Day’, ‘The Return of the Herd’, ‘The Hunters in the Snow’, ‘The Battle between Carnival and Lent’, ‘The Peasant Wedding’ and ‘Kermis at Hoboken’. Explores some of the complexities of Bruegel’s images of peasant life and argues that these are complex works of art that can only be understood in relation to the artistic traditions and intellectual concerns of his time.
