The World of Bruegel in Black and White
Pieter Bruegel de Oude, is a world famous painter of the 16the century. In his time Bruegel was best known for his prints. Some 450 years ago, Flanders was the centre of the production and trade of prints. In this period Bruegel and his publisher, Hiëronymus Cock, played a key role.
KBR is the pioneer in the rediscovery of Bruegel’s unknown masterpieces. During the Bruegel year a complete collection of prints will be exhibited. Masterful craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit are central to this exhibition. Visitors dive into the imaginary world and discover how the process went, from drawing to print.
The exhibitions consist of Bruegel’s original drawings, his Italian landscapes, the seven deadly sins, virtues and other beautiful prints. An exhibition that surprises the visitor with special figures and details in lesser known masterpieces.
