EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pieter Bruegel the Elder's masterpiece, "Rider and two horses" created between 1559-1563. The drawing, housed in the prestigious Albertina Museum in Vienna, is a testament to Bruegel's exceptional talent as an artist. In this intriguing composition, we see a rider accompanied by two majestic horses. The monochrome palette adds depth and intensity to the scene, highlighting every intricate detail of the artwork. Bruegel's skillful use of shading brings life to both man and beast. The image transports us back to the 16th century countryside, where hardworking farmers relied on these noble animals for their daily tasks. The draught horse stands strong with its harness while the carthorse patiently awaits its next job. The rider exudes confidence as he sits atop his steed, ready for whatever lies ahead. Bernhard Degenhart's book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" provides further insight into this remarkable piece of art history. Published in Berlin and Zurich in 1943 during tumultuous times, it serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos, beauty endures. As we admire this timeless creation by Pieter Bruegel the Elder through a modern lens, let us appreciate not only his artistic brilliance but also the enduring power of art itself.
