On the occasion of the 450th anniversary of the death of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c.1525/30-1569) the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna is mounting the first-ever large monograph exhibition of the leading Netherlandish painter of the 16th century. Only around forty paintings by Bruegel have survived, which is why museums and private collectors are right to count Bruegel's paintings among their most precious and fragile holdings. Bruegel's popularity continues to be informed by his often socio-critical but always varied, entertaining and powerful compositions. They invite the spectator both to begin an artistic discourse with the work and to reflect on the complexity of its content. This spectacular catalogue invites readers to immerse themselves in the world of the Netherlandish master. The results of recent research on materials and techniques allow us to focus on Bruegel's creative process: his perfect handling and execution, his virtuoso use of colour and his draughtsmanship - these are some of the many mysteries of this great artist. Bruegel's inventions and stories create artworks with a timeless power.

Seller's Description:
VG. Pictorial DJ. Pictorial covers with white lettering on spine. 303 pp: illustrations (chiefly colour), portraits. Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Netherlandish painter and draughtsman of the 16th century, had already achieved great fame during his own lifetime, but was largely forgotten until his rediscovery by art historians in the early 20th century. Just over forty paintings by Bruegel's own hand survive. His complex, multi-layered compositions, which draw on the earlier pictorial traditions of Hieronymus Bosch, are often moralizing and teem with characters. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, this catalogue allows readers to immerse themselves in the immensely rich pictorial world of the Netherlandish master and unites the artist's works in different media--paintings, drawings, and prints. Contents as follows: Foreword / Geert Bourgeois--Preface / Sabine Haag--Introduction to the Exhibition / Elke Oberthaller, Sabine Pénot, Manfred Sellink, Ron Spronk, and Alice Hoppe-Harnoncourt--Leading the Eye and Staging the Composition: Some Remarks on Pieter Bruegel the Elder's Compositional Techniques / Manfred Sellink--The Rediscovery of Pieter Bruegel the Elder: the Pioneers of Bruegel Scholarship in Belgium and Vienna / Sabine Pénot--Antwerp-Brussels-Prague-Vienna: On the Tracks of the Vienna Bruegels / Alice Hoppe-Harnoncourt--On Pieter Bruegel's Creative Process / Ron Spronk--Materials and Techniques: Observations on Pieter Bruegel's Working Methods as Seen in the Vienna Paintings / Elke Oberthaller.
