Summary

In this book, Dr. Robert L. Bonn examines the "something more" in the paintings of the old master Flemish artist, Pieter Bruegel, The Elder, and conveys insights, not only into 16th century Flemish society but also into our own lives in the 21st century. As you read this book, you will see how Bruegel's scenes capture the universal conditions of conflict, work, play, folly and chaos, as well as innumerable pieces of biblical and folk wisdom.

Author Biography

Robert L. Bonn was professor of sociology at City University of New York (CUNY).
