At a time when artists were still widely preoccupied with religious and mythological subject matter, the great Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder defied the trend. Earning the nickname 'Peasant Bruegel,' he turned his attention instead to the humble and the everyday, immersing himself in rural or small-town communities and painting the everyday existence and customs of peasant life. In their evocation of the agriculture, festivals, meals, dances and games that made up peasant life of this period, Brugel's paintings are a unique witness to a now vanished folk culture. This book explores his work.
