This generously illustrated volume on the work of Pieter Bruegel makes the world's greatest art accessible to readers of every level of appreciation. A Renaissance painter and printmaker best known for his landscapes and peasant scenes, Bruegel's paintings were often unsentimental depictions of daily village life. Overflowing with impeccably reproduced images, this book offers full-page spreads of masterpieces as well as highlights of smaller details - allowing the viewer to appreciate every aspect of the artist's technique and oeuvre. ILLUSTRATIONS: 80 colour illustrations
