EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases plate 19 from the renowned series "Pictorum aliquot celebrium Germanaie inferioris effigies" (Portraits of some Celebrated Artists of the Low Countries) by Johan Wierix. Created in 1595, this engraving and letterpress piece beautifully captures the essence of Peter Breughel, one of the most esteemed Flemish painters and printmakers. Breughel's half-length portrait exudes a sense of wisdom and artistic prowess. His bearded face is captured in profile, revealing his strong features and intense gaze. The intricate details etched into this print highlight his mastery as an artist. The composition transports us back to a time when art was revered for its ability to tell stories and evoke emotions. Breughel's contribution to Flemish art cannot be overstated; he was known for his unique style that blended realism with imaginative elements, creating scenes that were both visually stunning and thought-provoking. As we admire this remarkable image, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage found within the Low Countries during this period. This particular print serves as a testament to Breughel's enduring legacy as well as Wierix's skillful craftsmanship in capturing his likeness. Displayed here is a treasured piece from a private collection, allowing us to appreciate not only the talent of these celebrated artists but also their lasting impact on art history.
