  • Pieter Bruegel: Sublime Artist and Master Storyteller
    Manfred Sellink, Antwerpen
    Je länger man sich mit Bruegel, diesem brillanten und rätselhaften Künstler, beschäftigt, desto schwerer fassbar scheint er zu werden. Was ist das Wesen seiner Kunst? Warum ist er so universell über Kulturen, Milieus und Generationen hinweg beliebt? Was, wenn es einen gibt, ist der Schlüssel zum Verständnis seiner höchst komplexen und vielschichtigen Kunstwerke? Und was sind die größten Qualitäten des Meisters?
    Der Vortrag gibt einen kurzen Überblick über Leben und Werk Bruegels, konzentriert sich aber vor allem auf seinen kreativen Prozess, seine künstlerischen Eigenschaften, seinen Bildwitz, seinen Humor und sein Einfühlungsvermögen sowie seine einzigartigen Qualitäten als Geschichtenerzähler.
    Prof. Dr. Manfred Sellink studierte Kunstgeschichte und Geschichte an der Universität Utrecht, wo er nach seinem Studienabschluss 1988 auch lehrte und forschte. Er war Chefkurator für Zeichung und Grafik am Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam und Direktor der Musea Brugge, der Städtischen Museen von Brügge (Groeningemuseum, St Jans-Hospital/Memlingmuseum und Gruuthusemuseum).
    Seit 2012 als Professor für Museologie und Kulturpolitik an der Universität Gent tätig, wurde er 2014 zum Generaldirektor des Königlichen Museums der Schönen Künste in Antwerpen berufen. Manfred Sellink ist weltweit einer der führenden Bruegel-Spezialisten und Co-Kurator der Wiener Ausstellung. Er hat zahllose Publikationen zu Bruegel veröffentlicht und zwei Werke des Meisters wiederentdeckt.

    This speaker is a genius. He pronounces the artist's name in a different way each time he says it.

    The greatest story teller and philosopher in the history of art. It's incredible how Bruegel weaves together religion, folklore and advanced ideas of his time.

    Thank you for this great presentation. Bruegel always deserves more appreciation. He was the main old master that inspired my entire career. The way that artists such as him had to invent all of the natural subject matter made them so unique compared to paintings and drawings today that are copied directly from photographs.

    A great lecture with pictures I had not seen before. I had not realized the influence of Titian on his trees.

    Very enlightening and interesting. Loved the detail about the spade and also the bit on Hieronymus Cock and the philosophy behind the landscape paintings. Was so lucky to experience "Proverbs" and the Two monkeys" in Berlin

    I love it. Bruegel is one of my favourite painters and this lecture is pretty insightful. Thanks for making this channel, definitely visiting the museum when I next go to Vienna.

    Thanks for the video...it is very interesting. Did you actually restored the painting coming from Spain? I think it is kept in the prado museum... Of course they have a lot to restore but Id have imagined the most importants would be restored...I also find it a little bizarre to think that the Mediterranean weather is better for painting conservation than the Nothern one...

    Compare those times with today. There was intellectual discussion in families, between friends. Paintings were rare and wonderful. Today knowledge is canned, no work required, and we are swamped with trivial images.

    Anyone else notice how Bruegel (all of them) touches on what appears to be historical resets... Just look at the architecture in the background as well in some of the landscape pics 🤯🤯🤯🤯

    Terrific talk. At 60 minutes, the Seven Virtues-Hope discussion doesn't mention a singular fact about Dutch history wrt 'too much water'. Holland is a country about 40% of which is below sea level. It is able to exist only due to an extensive dyke and levee system which holds back extreme North Sea surges. Its history is pockmarked with storms which innundated the country over and over. One 1953 storm killed nearly 3,000 citizens, an event which the Dutch swore would never happen again. As a result they rebuilt their dyke and levee system to hold back a one in 10,000 year surge event.

    I wonder if all of these erudite "high-brow" observers even know who S.Clay Wilson is? Interesting question I believe. Just thinking out loud ,does anyone else hear this guy's seriously heavy breathing - he sounds like he's on the verge of a blood pressure nervous breakdown of some sort.....I've heard that Bruegals work has this effect on certain individuals...JRS
