Pieter Brueghel was the first important member of a family of artists who were active for four generations. Firstly a drawer before becoming a painter later; he painted religious themes; such as Babel Tower; with very bright colours. Influenced by Hieronymus Bosch; he painted large; complex scenes of peasant life and scripture or spiritual allegories; often with crowds of subjects performing a variety of acts; yet his scenes are unified with an informal integrity and often with wit. In his work; he brought a new humanising spirit. Befriending the Humanists; Brueghel composed true philosophical landscapes in the heart of which man accepts passively his fate; caught in the track of time.
