{"product_id":"pieter-bruegel-the-elder-gloomy-day-early-spring-fine-art-print","title":"Pieter Bruegel the Elder — Gloomy Day (Early Spring) | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnder a heavy green-grey sky, bare trees rise over a wooded slope where villagers work: a man in a blue-green shirt and red hose raises a blade to a pollarded tree while two others stoop over bundles, and figures at the right carry a lantern beside a cottage. Below, a village of red and thatched roofs runs down to a wide stretch of rough water where small boats are tossed, with snowy peaks and a castle at the upper left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kunsthistorisches Museum reads the picture as late winter or early spring, with seasonal tasks such as collecting wood and cutting willow switches. It sees Carnival signalled by the child with a paper crown, the lantern, the waffles and a masquerade with a pot on the head and a broom stuck with candles, and, since the Netherlandish year began on 1 March, treats it as the first picture of the whole cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: painting on oak wood, 1565; Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525–1569) was a Netherlandish painter and printmaker. He trained in Antwerp, likely under Pieter Coecke van Aelst, and travelled to Italy before settling first in Antwerp and later Brussels, working for merchant and court patrons. His crowded panoramas of peasant life, proverbs and biblical scenes set in contemporary Flemish landscape combine close observation of ordinary people with wit and, at times, dark allegory. His paintings are held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, the Museo del Prado and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
