Published on the occasion of the major exhibition at the Kunsthistorishes Museum in Vienna, is devoted to Pieter Bruegel the Elder, one of the most complex and fascinating artists, first and foremost famous for having put landscape as a virtually independent genre of painting and considered the greatest 16th-century Flemish master in the depiction of scenes from ordinary life.

The volume presents the extraordinary collection of paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder belonging to the Kunsthistorisches Museum, composed by twelve outstanding masterpieces famous worldwide: The Tower of Babel, Peasant Wedding, Peasant Dance, Hunters in the Snow, Children’s Games, The Fight between Carneval and Lent, The Procession to Calvary, The Gloomy Day, The Return of the Herd, The Peasant and the Nest Robber, The Conversion of St. Paul and Suicide of Saul.

The exhaustive essays by Wilfried Seipel, Klaus Demus, Alexander Wied, Karel van Mander and the extraordinary reproductions of the paintings give to the reader the opportunity to discover Bruegel’s magic world, his minute landscapes, his amusing narrative talent.
