Bruegel the Peasant Painter

Duration: 0:08:42.566485

From the elegance of Venus to the modernist and bizarre gifts of Picasso, the legendary life of the master of virus art is a story of Western art. Born in 1525, the peasant painter Bruegel, possibly from the Netherlands or from a place called Bruegel, learned painting from a man named Cook in Antwerp. He later became a professional painter and gained fame for his detailed and precise works. After traveling to Italy and back to the Netherlands, Bruegel settled in Brussels and focused on painting, depicting ordinary people and farmers in his works with a deep love and understanding. His paintings also reflected the harsh political realities of Spain's oppression of the Dutch people and their resistance. Bruegel died in 1569 at the age of 44, leaving behind a masterpiece called "The Hunters in the Snow," which is considered one of the greatest winter paintings in Western art history. The painting, created in 1565, depicts hunters walking in the snow with a tranquil and serene atmosphere, capturing the essence of winter with its simple and clean colors. Bruegel's unique style and nationalistic approach have made "The Hunters in the Snow" an immortal classic in art history.
