Few figures in art history are as enigmatic and ambiguous as the subject of this book, Pieter Bruegel the Elder—a mysterious, almost mystical figure. The work of this great Netherlandish artist has been the subject of long-standing art historical debate. The form devised by K.-A. Roquet for this study allows for a rare combination of scholarly and poetic insight, emotion and intellect. This biography is, in essence, a dialogue between two worthy interlocutors—an artist of a distant era speaking through his works, and a contemporary artist attempting to understand him. You open the book because you love Bruegel's paintings, and you close it with the feeling of having found much more than you were looking for.
