Bruegel. The Complete Works bring his teeming scenes to life. * The Times *
An Old Master monograph that really can claim space on the coffee table as not only a beautiful tactile object - exquisite paper, outstanding quality of reproduction, sumptuous design - but, unusually, for its absorbing, accessible, penetrating text, bringing to life a whole late-medieval world of people and ideas. * The Financial Times *
TASCHEN's monumental collection of Bruegel's work is the ideal way into his unique aesthetic world. * House & Garden *
