Pieter the Elder Bruegel

Pieter the Elder Bruegel is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder turned village life into art. In the mid-1500s he drew “A Village Kermis with a Wedding Feast,” a busy scene of dancing, eating, and flirting that feels like a Renaissance snapshot. He sketched what he saw, no grand palaces, just ordinary people in their own world. Want a closer look at the crowd? Tap into the drawing and step inside the feast.
