Francastel, Pierre. Bruegel. Paris: Editions Hazan, 1995.
In French. Francastel finished this manuscript in 1969, shortly before he died. This 1995 edition is the first publication and is admittedly out-of-date. But Francastel rejected both the reigning positivist tradition and the Hegelian disembodied spirit that Charles De Tolnay represented. While his dialectical approach no longer seems viable, his formal analyses are among the best written.
Gibson, Walter S. Bruegel. New York: Thames and Hudson, 1985.
First published in 1977. While obviously somewhat dated, this book is still an excellent introduction to the artist and his oeuvre. Suitable for undergraduates, especially as background reading for a seminar.
Kavaler, Ethan Matt. Pieter Bruegel: Parables of Order and Enterprise. New York: Cambridge University Press, 1999.
The author situates the reception of Bruegel’s compositions in the circle of wealthy merchants who patronized this artist. At the same time he sees in these works evidence of a socially conservative perspective, one that is suspicious of the emerging

Broadstreet
by Noel Johnson and Mark Koyama
Among the paintings in the Royal Collection of the British Monarchy is a winter scene by Pieter Bruegel the Elder titled “The Massacre of the Innocents”. As often is the case with Bruegel, it is a masterful recasting of a traditional theme into a contemporary setting. In this case, taking the story in St. Matthew of Herod’s attempt to kill the infant Jesus by ordering the slaughter of all children in Bethlehem below the age of two and locating it in a Flemish village in the mid-sixteenth century. This was not an arbitrary choice. The Reformation, which we traditionally date to 1517 and the actions of Martin Luther in Wittenberg Germany, was in full swing in the Spanish Netherlands. The official monopoly held by the religion of the ruling Spanish Habsburgs, Catholicism, was under threat. Protestantism was coalescing with a nascent Dutch national identity and the Spanish Crown was having none of it. In 1565 Philip II reintroduced the death penalty for heresy in the Netherlands. In 1567 he sent the Duke of Alba, along with 10,000 troops, to the Low Countries via the Spanish Road to suppress Dutch Revolt and restore Catholicism as the sole legitimate religion.
The painting, which was completed at the end of 1567, presumably shows th
