Bruegel's visual stories are diverse and his imagination runs riot!. What is the point of putting out a book on Sargent when we the readers can't enjoy his color palette? I can understand reproducing sketches in black and white, but to have finished paintings reproduced in black and white is totally absurd.. We mainly know him through his art and that of sons Jan and Pieter the Younger: most of his 40+ surviving paintings are from his last seven years, such as "Fall of the rebel angels," "Sermon of St John the Baptist," and "Wedding dance"; and terror against heretics, Protestants, and subversives by the Duke of Alba in Brussels wore away his final two years, finding expression in "Blind leading the blind" and "Magpie on the gallows" bitterness and sorrow and in many, ominous "Summer" knives. This is a "must have" book for lovers of prints. I was a disappointed by this book. The reproductions are very well done and the tonal studies in the back of the book are master courses on human form, anatomical structure, body movement and emotional impact.I highly recommend this collection of reproductions and must say the price is insignificant compared to the wealth of art inside.

The exhibit treats these drawings in a new light thanks to the "transformative insight" of the late Hans Mielke i.e., new attributions to Bruegel or his circle, such as a sketch formerly attributed to Hieronymous Bosch.

His independent drawings and designs for engravings and etchings, which were carried out by the leading printmakers of his day, have fascinated scholars and the general public alike since they were created. Provenances and references for every work, a bibliography, and an index are supplied.. They have recently been the subject of research that has given rise to a reevaluation of the parameters of Bruegel's oeuvre. They also illuminate his genius in entries on all the works in the exhibition. The new scholarship has been brought to bear in the texts of the present volume, which accompanies a major exhibition of 140 of Bruegel's prints and drawings to be shown at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, from May to August 2001 and at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from September to December 2001.
