Pieter Bruegel the Elder – Painter

Artists series

 The "Artists" series is an introduction to the lives and works of great masters of painting. Each film presents a particular painter, and takes an enjoyable and instructive look at the sources of modernity in art.

Director(s): Michaël Gaumnitz

Little is known about the painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder, who left us a mysterious and surprising work of great richness. This film is an invitation into a world of fantasy and reality, folly and rationality, in which the key word is liberty.
