The Harvesters

[@atarashi26michi]

One of my favorite paintings. The details are outstanding. My art history professor has always claimed that they aren't "monks stripped down" but skinny dippers. Considering that Bruegel was quite the prankster, I believe it. Plus, it's a funnier interpretation.

I don't know any women who sit perfectly upright while eating cheese smeared on bread.

[@squamish4244]

Why is this voted down? I don't see anything wrong with the analysis of this painting.

[@Hannah-tg8hw]

These Americans are BUTCHERING the man's family name. It puts my teeth on edge. Say it with me [BREW.H'L]

The Harvesters by Pieter Bruegel the Elder is a great work of art. The video is quite nothing ! even, instead of rendering the beauty of the moment of rest by these peasants, and showing how nature is beautiful, and how the beauty of nature which is humanized by the agriculture, the naval industry, etc ... is a kind of microcosmos in which human beigns are living better. The video is creating a kind of commercial effect which does not suit at all which the spirituality of the painting.

This painting is great but why the image is so distorted and the colors so dull? Why are the movements of the camera so unimaginative? I was in front of the painting and it looked much more vivid.

@MegaKritz because someone had the hope to teach you at least a little bit of culture ;-) but in vain

[@r.i.p.theovangogh1848]

Breughel is toch wel de meest innovatieve schilder uit de Noordelijke Renaissance. Vooral ook een landschapsschilder ! Hij tilt Jeroen Bosch boven de nederlandse schilderkunst op. Hij legt vast de bodem voor de latere Hollandse schilders. In Nederland en Vlaanderen is hij veel te onbekend .....

[@srgtfrog]

@MegaKritz because not everything is pop culture, guys like me want to see things they like... jerk.

[@PacaGospoda]

@MATAtheFIRST 2 things: beauty is in the eye of the beholder & nowadays, you can take a picture of fickle matter and it would be called art and innovative.

[@dharamdyan]

This painting is like an old friend. The Google Art Project is so amazing.

[@MATAtheFIRST]

Aw shut up. If art was indeed seen as a waste of time, money and resources people wouldn't want to give millions for one painting. I am not an art specialist, and never will be. But we must appreciate these works for their historic value and the thought the painters wish to express by painting it. If you can't appreciate these kind of vids just don't watch them. I am sure you'll find something much more educating on youtube (if you look hard enough).

[@aads13]

@MATAtheFIRST people are playing 1 million for art cuz they can LOL. they already got a 20 million dollar house. eating 50 dollar salads. and wiping their asses with 100 dollar bills.

[@MatukaEdgi]

1:49 this painting is from 1565, El Bosco painted his Garden in 1515. This is not "the first modern landscape in western art" at all

[@mrsarg777]

I would laugh if paintings ment nothing like every one keeps saying all these fancy things about inner deep ness of the painting or what ever but it would funny to have the actual artist just say they were high or just and thats why the painted this

[@rollopaterson-thelastimpre5572]

Wonderful! It is a very accurate analysis. I love it!

[@rusher38]

I thought I was opening something cool about history. But instead I got a "review" about a painting. Huh.

[@justinrowelyanga9024]

❤

[@Warewolf943]

I was wondering, since there's probably some art-smart folks out there... What's your favorite neo-classicism artist?

[@jan6678]

they are not having a lunch break? peasants were rarely given breaks. i think they are slacking

[@blueishmonkey1]

Lol did he say cockthrow? Damn, makes me wish I lived back then. Mm.

[@4gs8vh4gs8vh]

@mckennal1851 pictures - even masterpieces like this one - dont speak to everybody

[@wambaofivanhoe9307]

Netherlandish??

[@r.v.b.4153]

Yeah, it's a bit of a continuation of the Early Netherlandish painting art with some new renaissance influences.

[@omg9261]

[@micahgee]

Cool painting! But the youtube audience isn't exactly the mostly mature / receptive

[@MegaKritz]

why the fuck is this recomended???

[@PureDanceFTW]

thank god i dont have those classes anymore

[@rizon588]

Hi WHAP class who's reading document 5

[@vanrijngo]

I personally believe that these supposed art experts do a marvelous job in letting people who see this painting The Harvesters by Bruegel understand completely where they are coming from as they describe this master piece. People can hear with their own ears how ignorant these art experts really are and show them why when going into these places where the paintings are hanging, they would just a soon these people with their great knowledge keep their distance.

[@SumocatProductions]

I read the description... WTF is this about? and who watches this?
