Description
“Bruegel is often cast as an artist who collects his subject matter, be it children’s games, exempla of virtues and vices, Netherlandish and Latin proverbs, or peasants celebrating during the local kermis. Porras offers us a new facet of this artistic personality, one that has more agency than our previous portraits of the artist.”
—Nina E. Serebrennikov, Renaissance Quarterly
