Pieter Bruegel Research Paper

Pieter Brueghel's painting tricks the observer. The viewer is first drawn left, where a red-shirted farmer and his horse, plowing a hill, descend into shadows. The eyes then wander

Two of the paintings I came across, Ludolf Backhuysen, Ships in a Stormy Sea off a Coast, and Philips Wouwerman, Stag Hunt in a River were very similar in many ways. First of all, they were both European art, they are both 200 plus years old, and they both show very hectic times. The first painting, Ships in a Stormy Sea, displays several ships, (although it is hard to see the other 4), being almost entirely swallowed by an angry, wavy ocean, during an extremely stormy journey. All of the ships are at different levels and some are leaned over, and tipped more than others, allowing the viewer to realize the true horror occurring in this painting. The amount of line that this artist uses in this painting is tremendous as well, as he presents plenty of diagonal lines throughout the painting, such as on all of the ships sails. This piece of art is extremely realistic and gives me chills when I imagine what these sailors must have been dealing with that night. Not only does this painting show a hectic time, but another painting titled, Stag Hunt in a River. This painting displays a village, in the mountains, lying on a river, where hunters, horses, and dogs of the village are attacking a deer that is attempting to escape from them. This painting seems to describe a very hectic time for everyone, as the dogs are desperately trying to do their job, the deer is attempting to escape, and the hunters are relying on the deer for their food. Although there are many obvious differences in these two paintings, the roles are reversed in the two, as in Ships in a Stormy Sea, nature is doing the damage, while the people are trying to avoid danger. On the other hand, Stag Hunt in a River, displays nature being attacked and endangered by the people themselves. My favorite

I gave an in depth analysis into the painting in many aspects from color to space. This concurred with my thesis of Christ expressing peace and tranquility and providing the differences between his figure and the others surrounding him. I also provided academic quotes to support my thesis. This painting is important to humanity because it gives us insight into what was important to Bosch and the people living in Netherland at the time. Religion greatly influenced the artist whereas in this day and age, religion is usually not prominent in

Like many communities in Tennessee, Briceville's founding was tied to coal mining. Originally known as Slatestone Hollow, early miners used wagons to haul coal to Knoxville until the railroad connected Knoxville and Coal Creek. In 1888, Calvin Brice, who was then the president of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad and would later serve a single term in the U.S. Senate, requested the construction of a spur connecting Slatestone Hollow with Coal Creek. Upon completion of the spur, the community was renamed in Brice's honor. Although the population of Briceville has risen and fallen since the community's founding, residents have never been short of pests. Two common pests found in the area are bed bugs and fleas.

Ruby Briges was born on the exact same year as the Supreme Court’s Brown Vs. Board of Education decision in the school is noticable coincidence in her early life into Civil Rights movement . When she was in the kindergarten , she was one of the African- American students in New Orleans who been choosen to take a test to be determining whether or not she can attend a all white school .

On November 9, 1731, in Ellicott’s Mills, MD, Mary Banneky gave birth to Benjamin Banneker. Benjamin was the son of an ex-slave named Robert, and his mother Mary was the daughter of an Englishwoman named Molly Welsh. The both of his parents were both freed slaves and he was luckily able to escape the torture of slavery as well. His ability to read was taught by his biological grandmother when she’d read him books. He also attended a Quaker school for a very short period of time, but was primarily self-educated. At an early age, he was able to execute making an irrigation system for his family’s farm. He was had the ability to create a wooden clock that was able to compute accurate time for more than 50 years until his passing.

Benjamin Banneker was a famous African American because of his political contributions to society as an astronomer and surveyor. Benjamin Banneker lived during several time periods: Colonization and Settlement, the American Revolution, and The New Nation. During the first time period he lived in, Colonization and settlement, other places tried to avoid slavery by keeping work to the townspeople but that resulted in sloppiness and inaccurate work. On the other hand, the southern states the used slavery were more efficient and neat in their work. Later on, during the American Revolution, the blacks were still oppressed by the americans during their war with britain. During this time the slavery continued and it was legal in all states The next era

Franz Stangl committed a wretched crime. He is a murderer who needs to take responsibility for his actions. Over the course of 3 years 900,000 Jews died under his, and many others’ commands. “They (the victims) were so weak- they allowed everything to happen- to be done to them.” Spoken by Franz Stangl (H.E.A.R.T).

Bruegel was so well known for painting the lower class; it was often believed that he was a member himself. He, however, was merely an observer of these people. In his 1567 painting The Peasant Dance depicts

St. Jean de Brebeuf was born in Normandy, France, on March 25, 1593. In 1622, Jean was ordained as a priest, after he joined the Society of Jesus. Three years after St. Jean was ordained, he volunteered to go to Quebec, Canada, as a missionary to teach about Christ (Catholic Online). St. Jean de Brebeuf was known for his ability to speak many languages, which made him an excellent choice to be a missionary to New France or Canada.

One prominent act of independence was shown by the protagonist, Peter Bruegel. Even when he was a youth in s’Hertogenbosch, Bruegel had aspirations to become an artist, but the Brothers at his school “frowned upon drawing” (162). This restricted him from expressing his creativity, because even in his childhood Bruegel was captivated by painting. Peter was not willing to submit to these unjust regulations and “covered one wall with...drawings” (162). Rather than yielding to the Brothers’ strict commands, he allowed himself the liberty of drawing. This act of independence led Peter to continue his career path of becoming an artist, and eventually he became one of the most renowned European artists.

Estelle Fidler is a twenty five year clothing designer born in France on November 14th 1919, her passion for the art of fashion was passed down from her mother who from a young age taught her everything and anything she needed to know about sewing, designing, and drawing. Her dreams to sell her designs came true when she arrived by boat in New York City on August 12th 1944 with her three year old little boy after her mother had encouraged her to pursue her dreams.

It shows the true beauty of a landscape painting with numerous formal elements and principles of design. The painting is appealing to me because I have always been engaged outside working on our farm, or hunting with my brother. Knowing the importance a road make for my family when we move are goods to the local grain elevator. This panting is similar in that regard because it involves the working class on a winding road. Their dependence on the road to move goods and obtain food from place to place. Brueghel's painting still hold true today because people depend on roads for interaction and movement of goods. When gazing at the painting, I can see myself stuck in time; performing the different tasks alongside the road. When I first saw the painting compared to now, I would say that my response to the panting has changed. At first glance you see a typical landscape; however, when analyzing the painting you can find the true meaning of human interactions.

Bruegel’s marvelous technique, and skill with lines, shapes, and composition all leads this painting to be a masterpiece, or a

In this painting, Pieter Bruegel the Elder addresses a sequence of individuals ongoing a series of actions leading towards a falling perspective. He presents these features by painting a scene filled with torture and darkness. Throughout his painting, Bruegel obtains many emotions from his characters projected in his creation by paying specific attentions to major and minor details. These are portrayed as effective evidence to what this painting implies to the viewer himself. With an orientation of texture and colour choices, the painter implies a chain of characters leading into darkness and sorrow by his striking choices of posture and facial deformities. Bruegel illustrates an art with implications of history and physical appearances
