Description
by Anna-Claire Stinebring (Author), Salman Toor (Author)
New volume in the Frick Diptych series features an illuminating essay by curator Anna-Claire Stinebring paired with a contribution by artist Salman Toor.
One of the greatest Netherlandish painters of the sixteenth century, Pieter Bruegel the Elder (ca. 1525-1569) is best known for his landscapes and peasant scenes. One of only three signed works by Bruegel in the United States, The Three Soldiers was once in the celebrated collection of Charles I of England. The small panel in grisaille (shades of gray) represents a trio of Landsknechte, the mercenary foot soldiers whose flamboyant costumes and poses were a popular subject for printmakers of the period. This volume considers the artistic and political environment of the time and investigates how a colorful subject is transformed by its translation into monochrome.
Designed to foster critical engagement and interest specialist and non-specialist alike, each book in this series illuminates a single work in the Frick's rich collection with an essay by an art historian paired with a contribution from a contemporary artist or writer.
