After a challenging year in which international galleries, auction houses and museums have been forced to scale back their operations and make redundancies on an alarming scale, a slower, more considered approach to business seems to be emerging. So are we into an era of longer, more in-depth exhibitions and bespoke events concerned more with authentic connection than flashy spectacle? Ben Luke talks to Anny Shaw, a contributing editor at The Art Newspaper. In the Netherlands, just as in the US, cuts by far-right politicians to international development seem likely to have a huge impact on arts projects. As Tefaf, the major international art fair opens in the Dutch city of Maastricht, we talk to Senay Boztas, our correspondent based in Amsterdam, about fears of a funding crisis. And this episode's Work of the Week is one of the greatest paintings ever made: The Hunters in the Snow (1565) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. It is part of an exhibition called Arcimboldo – Bassano – Bruegel: Nature's Time, which opened this week at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The museum's director, Jonathan Fine, tells us more.Arcimboldo–Bassano–Bruegel: Nature's Time, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, until 29 JuneSubscription offer: enjoy 3 issues of The Art Newspaper for just £3/$3/€3—subscribe before 21 March to start your subscription with the April bumper issue including our Visitor Figures 2024 report and an EXPO Chicago special.

Aux alentours de 1565, dans nos régions, le climat subit des changements importants : une légère baisse des températures moyennes, des hivers très longs et très froids, alors que les printemps et les étés sont peu lumineux, frais et humides. On fait face à des tempêtes, des inondations sévères ou à des épisodes de sécheresse. C'est dans ce contexte que Pieter Bruegel dit l'Ancien va inscrire son art et offrir à la Renaissance flamande quelques-uns de ses plus grands chefs-d'œuvre. Certains, précisément, décrivent des paysages d'hiver. Sabine Van Sprang, historienne de l'art, conservatrice aux Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, est l'auteure, avec Tine Luk Meganck, de Bruegel et l'hiver, aux Editions du Fonds Mercator.

We welcomed guest speaker Christina Eichenroht to give an excellent and accessible lecture on this intriguing topic. Recommended! What have the cluttered landscapes of Pieter Bruegel the Elder to do with the complex plots of Fyodor Dostoevsky? In each, we find subtle allusions to the holy, hidden and tucked away in the least likely of places. Bruegel and Dostoevsky "bury the lede," so to speak, and thereby implicate us in overlooking or dismissing the presence of the holy—until we stumble over it in double-take recognition, and that hidden detail proves axiomatic. In this lecture, we will consider examples of this phenomenon in Bruegel's paintings and Dostoevsky's novel. Then, we will consider why Bruegel and Dostoevsky employ these compositional strategies. Why is the hiding of the holy so urgent? (Sorry we cannot include the slides. Bruegel's paintings - left unnamed during the talk - mentioned in the talk are as follows, in order: The Fall of Icarus; The Procession to Calvary; The Census at Bethlehem; The Adoration of the Kings) The Copyright for all material on the podcast is held by L'Abri Fellowship.

Author, poet and performer Michael Rosen is one of Britain's best loved and most prolific children's writers, having published hundreds of books over nearly fifty years, including his much-loved We're Going On Bear Hunt, the story of an exciting family outing, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. As a broadcaster he is well known to Radio 4 listeners as the host of Word of Mouth. He was appointed as Children's Laureate in 2007 and was awarded the PEN Pinter Prize in 2023, the citation noting his “ability to address the most serious matters of life in a spirit of joy, humour and hope”. In conversation with John Wilson, Michael recalls the early influence of his parents, who were both active members of the British Communist Party, and the many books that lined the walls of the Rosen family home. He chooses, as a key cultural inspiration, a reproduction of a 16th century painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder called Netherlandish Proverbs. Depicting ordinary people in various comic situations which represented well-known proverbs of the day, it captured the imagination of young Michael and his friends. He reveals how he started writing his own poetry in response to works by Gerard Manley Hopkins and D H Lawrence whilst at school, and remembers how We're Going On A Bear Hunt was inspired by various folk tales from around the world. Michael also discusses the impact on his work of the death of his son Eddie at the age of 18 in 1999, and in discovering more about the fate of Jewish family members during the Holocaust.

Sometimes you come across a text by someone and it feels like you have been seen. Like something you've been struggling with to make sense of all of a sudden appears in words right in front of you, in total clarity. It an be a very positive experience, but it can also make you feel called out. Caught in the act. Some intellectuals, a select few, have this capacity, to make us see things clearly, even when we might not want to. When I first stumbled across writings on his Substack publication , I felt this way. Like a door opened to a room I did not know existed, or had forgotten about. I think I needed some guidance about how to think about meaning and how to be a human being, especially in this moment where digital technology dominate our lives more and more. For the last couple of years at least, one of those guides for me has been Michael Sacasas, which is why I'm so glad to have him as guest in my podcast.We talk about digital technology, the ever hungry machine, artificial intelligence, why time-saving technology don't save our time, the tyranny of tiny tasks, Ivan Illich and the concept of conviviality, the art of Pieter Bruegel the elder, about how to resist and why Michael wrote that the human-built world is not built for humans.I will post a transcript of the conversation some time in the following days. An excerpt:But then there was also this expectation that you would be just simply be doing more. One example of this is in this expression, that may be is a little archaic now, but it's “spring cleaning”. The idea is that you do this large cleaning in the spring. And this comes from a time when that would have been a kind of annual practice that you do kind of a deep cleaning of the home. But now the expectation is that homes should be maintained at that level of cleanliness – all the time, constantly.So now you've undercut whatever gains you might have achieved by having certain time saving devices, in this particular case. So I think there are ways in which the the promise never quite is fulfilled. And I think most of us would discover this in our own experience, if we ask ourselves: Do we now have an abundance of of free time? I think most of us feel kind of hurried, always kind of at the at the limits of our capacities, overwhelmed. Or burnt out, which is now an extremely common way of labeling this condition of just being pushed beyond our limits and not having enough time. Time becomes an adversary.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder: Renaissance Painter

During a time of increasing religious and political conflict, Pieter Bruegel the Elder's paintings portrayed work and pleasure, rituals and festivals of peasant life, and biblical scenes - all in startling detail. Inspired by humanist principles, Bruegel's art questioned how well we know ourselves, often representing our ignorance and insignificance, the futility of ambition and the absurdity of pride.In this edition of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Professor Elizabeth Honig, author of Pieter Bruegel and the Idea of Human Nature, to explore further how Bruegel's art and ideas enable people to ponder what it means to be human.

Den svenska stormaktstiden var präglad av krig, nedkylning av klimatet, farsoter och svält. De omfattande utskrivningarna till militärtjänst var i det närmaste fördröjda dödsdomar. Men det fanns samtidigt en annan verklighet i den lilla världen med lekar, festligheter och kärlek.Både barnen och vuxna lekte under stormaktstiden, en del lekar känner vi fortfarande igen. Och den folkliga kärleken och kulturen var friare än den religiösa ortodoxin accepterade. Dessutom avlöste festerna med uppenbart hedniskt ursprung varandra. Påbuden från kyrkan hade ofta ingen effekt på folkets traditioner.I den nymixade reprisen av avsnitt 108 av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledare Urban Lindstedt med Annika Sandén, docent i historia och aktuell med boken Fröjdelekar – Glädje, lust och nöjen under svensk stormaktstid.Kyrkan försökte strama upp allmogens moral.

Obraz możecie zobaczyć w kolekcji Kunsthistorisches Museum w Wiedniu, razem z dwoma innymi dziełami z serii: "Powrotem stada" i "Pochmurnym dniem". Wszystkie datowane są na rok 1565. Opowiadam o: ☘️ niezwykłej wrażliwości Bruegla na obserwację otaczającego go świata, ☘️ temacie pór roku w sztuce, ☘️ tym, jak rytm życia był kiedyś silnie związany z rytmem pór roku, ☘️ tym, jak Pieter Bruegel st. stał się prekursorem dwóch nowych gatunków w malarstwie! ...

This lesson covers the field of Astronomy and how the science has changed over the centuries. Our ideas about the universe, even as early as the 20th century, might seem very silly to us today, thanks to new knowledge obtained by satellites, probes, and advancements in telescopes. How does the Bible stack up to our modern understanding of the universe? This lesson also covers the debate among some Christians on whether scripture supports a geocentric or heliocentric model.

The Horror Junkies are back in the studio this week with their good friend Jorge. The Florida sky is turning black and the winds begin to pick up, which means that the conditions for recording our episode are perfect. On this week's episode we discuss Infection movies and finally tackle the underrated hit It Comes At Night by Trey Edward Shults. In the first half of the show, Patrick drags us through what felt like an eternity of Horror News. Bringing up some really anticipated Horror themed games from the E3 conference that was this past week. Such titles include: The Last of Us part 2, The Evil Within 2, Wolfenstein II, and Days Gone, which feels like it was influenced by World War Z. Be sure to check out those games if your into survival games or if you just want to cry with the lights off. We also had a pretty intense Horror History segment with Mike. Before digging into his topic, Mike brought up a painting from It Comes At Night. This particular painting is titled The Triumph of Death and was painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1562. Depicting mass death, walking skeletons, and destruction. The topic of Horror History today was the Bubonic Plague that decimated Europe in the 14th century, wiping out one-third of its population. The second half of the show is our short Spoiler Free conversation about It Comes At Night, followed by a longer spoiler filled conversation about what our thoughts are and the questions we have after watching the movie.  This movie got a really solid rating from the Horror Junkies, and it really makes the viewer think and pay attention.  But don't take our word for it, go see It Comes At Night and tell us what you think.
