Summary of Fantastic Journey of Pieter Bruegel

In the mid-16th cent., a young artist made a fantastic journey. He was in his early 20s, studying & working as a painter & draftsman in the bustling city of Antwerp, Belgium. The trip, south across the Alps & on to Rome to see its great art & ancient ruins, was a common pilgrimage for artists. This artist became known as Pieter Bruegel the Elder, whose paintings & drawings have dazzled viewers with the humor, fantastic imagination, & frank understanding of human nature that they display. In this book that will appeal to all ages, the author has envisioned Bruegel's journey in richly imagined diary entries & stunning illus. He shows the 2-year sojourn expanding & stimulating Bruegel in ways that will influence the astonishing range of his paintings & drawings.
