Reviews...one of the most imaginative, original and captivating artists in history. * The Guardian * Bruegel. The Complete Works bring his teeming scenes to life. * The Times * An Old Master monograph that really can claim space on the coffee table as not only a beautiful tactile object - exquisite paper, outstanding quality of reproduction, sumptuous design - but, unusually, for its absorbing, accessible, penetrating text, bringing to life a whole late-medieval world of people and ideas. * The Financial Times * TASCHEN's monumental collection of Bruegel's work is the ideal way into his unique aesthetic world. * House & Garden *
