Pieter Bruegel d. A. und das Theater der Welt

The etchings and prints after preliminary studies by Pieter Bruegel the Elder are among the most entertaining, innovative, and intelligent pictorial inventions of the second half of the 16th century. Depictions of hell and saints, allegories of vices and virtues are juxtaposed with landscapes, townscapes, pictures of the Virgin Mary, biblical and apocryphal themes, fairs, and portraits of peasants, as well as theater adaptations. This book features contributions by Jürgen Müller, Bertram Kaschek, and others.
