Pieter Bruegel ANNOTATION
Briefly examines the life and work of the sixteenth-century Flemish painter, describing and giving examples of his art.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
An excellent introduction to celebrated artists and their work. Full-color reproductions of the actual paintings are enhanced by Venezia's clever illustrations and story line. Young readers will look at the different paintings and see how the artists' style changed over the years. More important, the reader can enjoy a light, yet realistic overview of the life of each artist.
Bruegel was able to paint scary as well as beautiful scenes.
FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Susie Wilde
Some of the most beautiful art in America is found between the covers of children's books. Certainly that is one way that adults introduce children to art, but there has been a recent explosion in the market of children's books about art. Their expression varies from preparing for museum experiences to experiencing art itself. One of the ways adults can introduce children to art is by revealing the real lives of the people who create art. Children who are beginning to read can begin to learn to art with "Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists" series which now has nearly two dozen titles featuring artists such as Diego Rivera, Mary Cassatt, Renoir and Dali.
