"Hunters in the Snow" may well be my favorite painting. I know I'm far from alone in claiming that.
I had the great good fortune to see the largest Brueghel exhibit ever mounted - in Vienna, at the exact time Devin Nunes was running around the city allegedly having clandestine meetings with former Ukrainian prosecutor Vladimir Shokin to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. That just goes to show how misplaced Devin Nunes' priorities were. I didn't see that cowpoker anywhere near the Kunsthistorisches Museum, that's for sure.
Anyway, the exhibit was the single greatest art exhibit I've ever seen or will be likely to see. We spent more than three hours there, and though it was crowded, one could still manage time in front of every painting and print and linger over the details. We even tried to go back the next day, but as reservations had to be made months in advance (as we'd done), it just wasn't possible.
Such a splendid humanist, with such a marvelous ability to bring us life in all its facets. Thanks for highlighting his work!
So much to see in these paintings. Thanks Martini for the links and the history. And more importantly I hope you have a splendid birthday as well as many more to come!
Joyeux anniversaire, Martini!
