Hello, this time I'm going to talk about the last piece of art that I met and chushed me.
It is a painting by Pieter Brueghel the Old, and it's originally called ''De val van de opstandige engelen'' in dutch or ''Caída de los ángeles Rebeldes'' in spanish.
This painting was made in 1562, and it represent the apocalipsys. For me,most important than the issue, it's the graphic way that he use to represent it. I like Brueghel in general, he was also a gorgeous engraver, he always put a lot of details, disturbing details in his canvas, like Jenorymus Bosh, but he has better sense of humor for me (without play down how very much I like Bosh). His canvas or etchings are overload and grazing the absurd. Well, this paiting has that too. I like to much the pallet of colours, the dispotition of the figures, and , of course, the figures: the monsters and what are they doing. It's a crazy shit. I relate with this painting in a kitsh way. It's a reference for the composition facts. But it's really important to have in mind that visual art was always a way to say concepts/histories with simbols for communicate with images, so, this painting impressed to me a lot when I sudently bump into it at the Old masters Museum of Brussels. Big, colorful, crazy. Seems current, looks fresh to this times. The freedom to has painted grotesque stuffs in tha medieval era, and tell us the bible with this big imagination.
Hi! I've never seen this painting before. In fact, I thought it was a mural of our age. It looks ahead of it's time
ResponderEliminarOnce I heard, I think about Bosco, that this type of artist hid their crazy minds with religious topics. and was good that they did it, or we would not see this.
ResponderEliminarI've seen pictures of this painting before and i was really amazed by the way he puts all those crazy characters
