Elizabeth Alice Honig is Professor of Northern European Art at the University of Maryland. She is the author of Jan Brueghel and the Senses of Scale (2016).

In this elegantly written and illustrated book, Elizabeth Alice Honig explores the discursive nature of Pieter Bruegel’s art . . . the book offers an encyclopaedic investigation of the myriad human conditions Bruegel masterfully captured in his oeuvre and the cultural and social concerns to which they spoke . . . a thorough work of scholarship that argues that Bruegel conceived of his works as pieces to provoke and promote contemplation and discussion – whether that be with oneself or between others – about the idea of human nature . . . An enjoyable read, Honig’s book encourages us not only to reflect on the many conversations that Bruegel’s art could have engendered, but also to use his work to explore our own ways of understanding human nature.
