The 450th anniversary of Pieter Bruegel’s death is commemorated in the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum’s extraordinary exhibit, through January 13, 2018. Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525/30-1569) was a prolific painter of scenes from the biblical and classical Greek world, along with detailed and whimsical scenes of urban life in his own time. In his WSJ article, “‘Bruegel’ Review: Enduring Fascination,” A.J. Goldmann points to “the newly unveiled online portal www.insidebruegel.net, [where] you can inspect 11 of the Vienna paintings—as well as infrared and X-ray images—in exceptionally crisp detail.” The museum’s Picture Gallery offers a great selection of Bruegel’s works, including a number of altarpieces, under “Netherlands 15th – 16th centuries” in the “Selected masterpieces” section.
