All paintings have their secrets. What do the canvases of the northern master hide? Strange and grotesque characters, folk dances and carnival, fasting and Maslenitsa, proverbs and sayings, life and death, a mill and a cross — these are the heroes of Pieter Bruegel’s paintings. His “pictorial treatises” are fascinating, you need to immerse yourself in them, studying the messages, symbols and signs in detail. Bruegel is a master of the Late Northern Renaissance, who laid the foundation for the formation of an original Dutch school of painting. The father of several generations of artists, a master of genre painting, multi-figure composition, parable and caricature, he went down in the history of art as a subtle painter who sought to create a synthetic picture of the world. At the lecture, we will talk about Bruegel’s life and see how his complex and mysterious artistic language was formed. Lecturer: Valeria Kosyakova, PhD in Cultural Studies, lecturer at the Russian State University for the Humanities, member of the Association of Art Critics of Russia. ——————————————————————————— ➜ Follow us on social networks: VK: https://vk.com/rgubru Telegram: https://t.me/rgubru
