The Five Senses：Sight_Bruegel
購於謎屋＠2008.10.20 我覺得這幅買貴了！！
畫家是 Jan Brueghel the Younger (Flemish, 1601-1678). The Five Senses: Sight, 1625 Jan Breughel II (a.k.a.: "the Younger") was a busy man in the mid-1620s. He'd been called back to Antwerp (after his father, Jan I, died of cholera) from a trip to Sicily with his old friend Anthony Van Dyck. Literally overnight, he found himself in charge of his father's studio and a slew of half-finished works. As if this weren't challenge enough, he also promptly married and began the work of siring eleven children.
Though he enjoyed moderate success because of his father's reputation, Jan the Younger was not in the same artistic league. Neither did he share Jan I's ability to create innovative themes.
This painting is hung with Georges Seurat's Les Poseuses (1888) and Pablo Picasso's Quatre Baigneuses (1921) in the exhibition Double Take: From Monet to Lichtenstein.
