Fall of the Rebel Angels by Pieter Breugel (c.1525-69) - in the Royal Museum of Art, Brussels - Pieter Bruegel the Elder - The most famous member of the family and the only one to sign his paintings as 'Bruegel' without the H. - not Breughel - 1562. Oil on oak, 117 x 162 cm. Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Brussels. Bruegel painted this picture when he was still living in Antwerp and supplying drawings to the engraver Hieronymus Cock. Turning his back on the then-dominant Italian models, he plunges into the then old-fashioned tradition of Hieronymus Bosch's world. An apparently inextricable mixture of persons and shapes offers itself to our bewildered gaze. Emerging from distant depths in a halo of light, monsters are thrown to earth as from a breaking wave. Angels combat them, led by St Michael, thin as a rake in his golden armour, striking with his sword at the dragon with the seven crowned heads on which he has his oothold. - ©:TopFoto.
