brueghel

On Episode #120, your humble host waxes semi-eloquent about artists Pieter Bruegel and Vincent van Gogh, social media trolls, pickleball, and giving yourself a personal mulligan.

Oh, and what to do if an army of skeletons attacks you on your tee shot.

A découvrir à la galerie De Jonckheere  jusqu’au 19 novembre :

Tableaux de Maîtres –  « Brueghel : une affaire de famille ». Qu’il s’orthographie Bruegel, Brueghel ou Breughel, ce nom évoque inéluctablement la grande peinture flamande des XVI et XVIIe siècles.
À travers une sélection de douze tableaux spécialement réunis pour l’occasion, la galerie De Jonckheere a le plaisir de présenter un parcours pictural inédit mettant en lumière l’héritage artistique ainsi que les différents liens de parenté, parfois mal connus, qui reliaient ces célèbres figures de la peinture ancienne flamande.

Alice Frech, directrice de la galerie nous reçoit durant "Art en vieille ville" .

 

«Egli merita da tutti di essere imitato. Il nostro Brueghel ha dipinto, come dice Plinio a proposito di Apelle, molte cose che non possono essere dipinte. In tutte le sue opere c’è sempre più pensiero che pittura»: con queste parole il libraio e cartografo fiammingo Abraham Ortelius nell’Album Amicorum (dopo il 1550) tenta di descrivere il sistema pittorico di Pieter Brueghel il Vecchio (1520/25-1569), il capostipite di una delle più prolifiche e artisticamente fortunate famiglie di pittori delle Fiandre.

This lecture forms part of a series entitled "Antiquity After Antiquity" and is for first year Undergraduate History of Art students. It was delivered at the University of Oxford History of Art Department. An Van Camp (Curator of Northern European Art at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology) explores the practice of Netherlandish artists travelling to Italy from the fifteenth until the seventeenth century. The lecture starts with an overview of the different kinds of Netherlandish artists and their reasons why they went to Italy (illustrated mainly by works on paper from the collections of the Ashmolean Museum). The second part of the lecture focuses on Jan Brueghel the Elder in particular and the different types of drawings he made in Italy after he returned to Flanders, some in preparation of print series.
