The greatest story teller and philosopher in the history of art. It's incredible how Bruegel weaves together religion, folklore and advanced ideas of his time.
Thank you for this great presentation. Bruegel always deserves more appreciation. He was the main old master that inspired my entire career. The way that artists such as him had to invent all of the natural subject matter made them so unique compared to paintings and drawings today that are copied directly from photographs.
Very enlightening and interesting. Loved the detail about the spade and also the bit on Hieronymus Cock and the philosophy behind the landscape paintings. Was so lucky to experience "Proverbs" and the Two monkeys" in Berlin
I love it. Bruegel is one of my favourite painters and this lecture is pretty insightful. Thanks for making this channel, definitely visiting the museum when I next go to Vienna.
Terrific talk. At 60 minutes, the Seven Virtues-Hope discussion doesn't mention a singular fact about Dutch history wrt 'too much water'. Holland is a country about 40% of which is below sea level. It is able to exist only due to an extensive dyke and levee system which holds back extreme North Sea surges. Its history is pockmarked with storms which innundated the country over and over. One 1953 storm killed nearly 3,000 citizens, an event which the Dutch swore would never happen again. As a result they rebuilt their dyke and levee system to hold back a one in 10,000 year surge event.
Thanks for the video...it is very interesting. Did you actually restored the painting coming from Spain? I think it is kept in the prado museum... Of course they have a lot to restore but Id have imagined the most importants would be restored...I also find it a little bizarre to think that the Mediterranean weather is better for painting conservation than the Nothern one...
Anyone else notice how Bruegel (all of them) touches on what appears to be historical resets... Just look at the architecture in the background as well in some of the landscape pics 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Compare those times with today. There was intellectual discussion in families, between friends. Paintings were rare and wonderful. Today knowledge is canned, no work required, and we are swamped with trivial images.
I wonder if all of these erudite "high-brow" observers even know who S.Clay Wilson is? Interesting question I believe. Just thinking out loud ,does anyone else hear this guy's seriously heavy breathing - he sounds like he's on the verge of a blood pressure nervous breakdown of some sort.....I've heard that Bruegals work has this effect on certain individuals...JRS

This speaker is a genius. He pronounces the artist's name in a different way each time he says it.

Brilliant. Educational. Thought provoking conversation tied to gorgeous images. Thank you
A great lecture with pictures I had not seen before. I had not realized the influence of Titian on his trees.
An extremely erudite and insightful analysis of the work...

I enjoyed the lecture very much. Thank you Manfred Sellink.

Ah, so the fortune teller is looking towards the viewer because we're in the future? Love those cute details in Bruegel's work.

Maravilha!
A very insightful and illuminating speech. To whose passing did he refer at the beginning though, I wonder.
Maybe he was talking about Hans Mielke who died prematurely
Very interesting. Just a pity he makes an historic error on the situation of Brabant!
knowledgeable speaker . I would have appreciate it having more time on images and NOT on speaker.
When are we going to stop obedıently worshıpping the rıch?

The breathlessness, the repetition, and the hesitations are tiresome. Bruegel speaks for himself.
