I wrote a paper in college about Bruegel and Bosch, contrasting them. Bruegel painting scenes from real life, and we all know what kinds of scenes Bosch painted.
I’ll go for the drunks and prostitutes and peasants and dogs any day over God’s retribution against sinners!
Wow, if Bruegel could only know what his paintings are worth today.
I thought it so incredible that van Gogh wrote to his brother only days before he committed suicide that he must accept the fact that his life has been a failure. Now there is a museum in Amsterdam dedicated to him, and he is considered one of the greatest painters ever. So ironic, and fetching even more millions than a Bruegel!
