http://www.pieter-bruegel.co.uk Bruegel, Flemish painter from sixteenth century, painted about 60 pictures of mostly peasant life. Big colourful and lively pictures, but what are not so well known are his drawings and engravings.
I have taken some of them and painted in the colour scheme that I imagine Bruegel might have chosen, in order to make them more accessable.
His interests in his society were as wide ranging as Shakespeare's.
And as with Shakespeare little known about his own life yet he kept company with some of the leading Humanists of the day. His paintings are enigmatic and challenging, but also there is a great deal of humour there too.
