Beskrivning
From human folly to political satire, this richly illustrated volume reveals how masters like Bruegel brought language to life through art.This book is the first to explore the rich tradition of visualized language in the art of the Early Modern Low Countries, with Pieter Bruegel the Elder as its central figure. Through masterpieces by artists including Hieronymus Bosch, Jacques Jordaens, Jan Steen, and Rembrandt van Rijn, it demonstrates how proverbs, satire, and allegory inspired artists for centuries. From human folly and political tensions to sex, drink, and mortality, word and image emerge as closely intertwined. The book also places this tradition within a contemporary and global perspective, revealing the enduring relevance of Bruegel’s visual language today.
