Rick Steves' Europe
Art Bites 156: Pieter Brueghel the Elder for a Slice of Flemish Life
The master of the slice-of-life scene captured the simplicity of country folk at play, celebrating humanity’s quirks and foibles. With Brueghel’s “Peasant Wedding” and “Peasant Dance” there’s not a saint in sight…just life with gusto and perhaps a small moral.
