Bruegel. Unseen Masterpieces When art meets technology

 

Bruegel. Unseen Masterpieces allows members of the public to delve into the works of Pieter Bruegel the Elder († Brussels, 1569). While the artist and his paintings are instantly recognisable worldwide, every composition also depicts a whole host of characters – some surprising, others familiar – and vignettes that provide the subtext of history, which are masterpieces worthy of exploration in their own right.  bruegel
