  The English art critic is hilarious! Where did you dig him up from? His condescending manner and speech are priceless!

  Without Bruegel, everyone would picture everyone in the Middle Ages dressed as Robin Hood.

  The only Perspective shows I watch are those with Waldemar. He gives his information with a cerebral layer that many of the other experts are lacking.

  Calling Breughel &apos;medieval Banksy&apos; is an insult to Breughel.

  So the Art Critic from the Evening Standard provided Monty Python with their model for Pontius Pilate? Well, who&apos;d have thunk it! <br>&quot;Derring-do&quot;

  To have lived through what common people lived through in an era when the penalty of revealing one’s true feelings of their beliefs was death as a heretic must have been incredibly agonizing on top of dealing with out crops of the plague, poverty and disease. Interestingly enough many very famous scientists and artists of those times who were educated enough to read, listen to or perhaps translate the Greek Septuagint version of the Scriptures or hear &nbsp;of small but important lessons, knew in their hearts that the deplorable degrading false teachings of the clergy and their way of life clashed directly with what they were supposed to be teaching. Maybe this artist was deeply troubled by the hypocrisy as so many are even to our day. Some courageously spoke up and worked diligently under duress to translate, others made private notations due to the fear of being burnt at the stake. These so called teachings still exist but so does the truth that so many back then gave their lives for to make sure that we could examine it. This artist really appears to have attempted to contrast and show the hypocrisy in his art. What a sad job when he enjoyed painting nature. His harvest paintings and of seasons show so much more joy and happiness of life. 😊

  Strange how he is being referred to as a Dutcj master... &apos;From the Nether lands&apos; does not mean Holland (Nederland) but is a literal translation of &apos;de lage landen&apos; as the whole of now Flanders, part of Flemish Brabant was known at he time. Breugel conveys the essence of Flemish being in his work.
