Tiny reproductions
If you have seen the figures in the book "Hieronymus Bosch" by Larry Silver 2006, you will be very disappointed by this book "Pieter Bruegel by Philippe Roberts-Jones". The reproductions are tiny, and you can not really enjoy looking at those figures. There are some reprints of Bruegel's paintings in the book "Hieronymus Bosch", and those are bigger and crisper than...

This review is from: Pieter Bruegel (Hardcover)
Pieter Bruegel Elder is a very well known and hugely influential artist, whose relatively small body of survived through centuries paintings and graphics are incredibly important for the art as whole, and that magnificent book - written with deep respect and admiration to the great flemish master is a definite must have to anyone who is intersted in art history and beyond.What impressed me the most in that excellent reference to the Bruegel's time, art and life is a quality of reproduction of the art work-its really,really great-accurate,vibrant and crisp.

A Veritable Bruegel Feast,
By dream factory (Triangulum, M33) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pieter Bruegel (Hardcover)
The Amazon Editorial Review perfectly describes this lavish book.
A big wonderful book overflowing with beautiful reproductions of paintings, engravings, and drawings. Throughout the book contemporary artists of his time have been added to expound upon the artist's era. Also there is a political, religious, economic time-line walking us through that part of history. En total showing us who and what influenced Bruegel as a developing artist and how he influenced others. The text presents his life and artistic development clearly. The book also presents dozens of super detailed close-up. Bringing you right up to the brushstrokes and crackles. Indeed THE definitive book on a great and influential artist.

The reproductions are tiny, and you can not really enjoy looking at those figures. There are some reprints of Bruegel's paintings in the book "Hieronymus Bosch", and those are bigger and crisper than figures here. Yes, there are details of some figures, but not enough. This book might be the best book on Pieter Bruegel's paintings, drawings, and prints, from the reviews of other books on this topic, but it is not good enough. I wish there will be a Bruegel book as good quality as "Hieronymus Bosch" by Larry Silver 2006.
