There are occasions where you have to break that poem into pieces and figure the story behind that selection. These individual pieces come together like a puzzle to teach you the lesson it intended to teach. The different pieces in the poem we read can give you a general idea of suffering, the idea that people undergo pain
W.H. Auden's Musee des Beaux Arts and Pieter Bruegel's The Fall of Icarus W.H. Auden and Pieter Bruegel were both keen observers of the ordinary. In Bruegel’s painting “The Fall of Icarus”, he is able to look past the tragedy of the death of Icarus and focus on the simple scene surrounding the event. Auden’s poem, “Musee des Beaux Arts”, has the same qualities: it glazes over the nature of tragedy, and chooses to instead examine the fact that life goes on while disaster occurs. Arthur F. Kinney

The Triumph of Death by Pieter Bruegel the Elder Pieter Bruegel’s The Triumph of Death depicts a hell on earth scenario that many would find difficult to look at. Believed to have been painted around 1592 (Woodward, 2009), Bruegel’s brush strokes illustrate peasants and nobles alike being tortured or killed by an army of skeletons. However the greater detail of this oil on panel painting lays out much of what is considered on one hand a parody of life and on the other an ominous reminder that
The early 16th century in Northern Europe was vastly dominated by a changing religious and political shift, which had a profound impact on art. Due to the build up of the Protestant Reformation as well as the aftermath following, artists were no longer receiving religious commissions and found it necessary to expand their subject matter.

I chose the DIA to visit and right about, it was the hottest day of the year, July 21st if there is one complaint I have is that their isn’t enough close parking for the DIA.

Among artists of the Flemish Renaissance, Jan van Eyck painted works of art that made him stick out from the other painters in Flanders during this time, such as Robert Campin or Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
