    I made a special trip from the US to Vienna in 2018 for this exhibit. It was wonderful to see so many of these works in one place. I did not fully appreciate how large some of them were until I saw them in person. Amazing!

    Pieter Bruegel was my first inspiration to paint. 15 years after I discovered his work in a purchase from a used book store, he continues to inspire me. What is special to me is the exact way that he invented life without the photo references we have today. True genius.

    I remember seeing a few of his paintings in Fitzwilliam museum in Cambridge and before seeing them I had little to no interest in art then all of a sudden I saw them and was blown away. I still dislike most forms of art but it really sparked an interest in me to find more like him. I've since realised that the Dutch/Flemish painters of the late medieval and early modern period were hands down the best artists to ever exist.

    It’s not because he was believed to be born in Breda that he is a Dutch master, he learned the skills and lived in Belgium most of his live. Just like Van Gogh , born in the Netherlands but he was formed in Antwerp and France, almost no work of him was painted in the Netherlands were his work was not appreciated.

    That's a surprising comment if i ever read one ! NO toilets, no toilet paper, no hygiene, Rare soap, no privacy, no fridges, no windows, no medecine, no desinfectant, no bug repelants, no hospitals, no dentists, no drugstore, no money, no exercise, no skin cream, no sterile bandages. Hard work, hard work, hard work. Peasants ate rats, dogs, cats, some boar, some wild chicken, insects...for NO game was available to anyone but Princes and the Rich merchants. They also mostly ate Dark Rye bread, baked often enough from grain that had sat too long in granaries and had gone bad with Lysis of the grain's membrane... serious problem brought on by constant wars and rough weather. This did nothing to embellish anyone believe me. So, no...most people were not pretty. Even the Rich and the Powerful had tons of bad habits and hardly any sense to bathe. So, what you're looking at is the reality of Christian Europe not yet out of the Middle Ages. But this was about to change in a big way. Because the forever castigated Jews living "en marge de la société économique" got seriously sick of it...and were about to show the world, that an ordinary person could make it rich on the back of those corrupt rulers and abusers...by playing the money game better than they. So now, we are totally corrupt with money and credit...but way prettier ! HA !
