The Brueghels took part in the intellectual epic of their day which brought about a renewal in thought and laid the foundations of Modernity. Through the human adventure of the Brueghel dynasty, progressing from obscure beginnings to recognition by the very greatest, Florence de Voldere introduces us to the genius of these men who created the Flemish aesthetic identity. He takes us through the Renaissance in Flanders in the form of a story in pictures. Through an approach based on a dynamic reading of the paintings, this book opens up some decidedly novel perspectives for interpreting Flemish art. 320 colour illustrations
