Description: | This is an excellent copy of Pieter Brueghel the elder's Landscape with Bird Trap (c.1565, Delporte Collection, Brussels) depicting figures skating and curling on a frozen river as seen from a bird's eye view. A bird trap is set off on the snowy slope on the right. The original painting prepared the ground for non-allegorical landscape painting, which was achieved by Brueghel's followers. The painting enjoyed a high reputation, for numerous contemporary copies were made of it, several of them by Pieter Brueghel the younger, to whom this copy is attributed. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Brueghel, Pieter, the younger (Flemish artist, born 1564 or 1565, died 1637 or 1638) Æ Attributed to After Bruegel, Pieter, the elder (Flemish painter, ca. 1525-1569) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8565... | Go to resource |
