|
| Here, Bruegel depicted a four-master and two three-masters anchored near a fortified island capped by a lighthouse. |
|
| The show was relatively large for a monographic exhibition, with fifty-five drawings attributed to Bruegel and sixty-two prints after his designs. |
|

|
| Pieter Bruegel the Elder pioneered large panoramic scenes of peasant life. |
