The sixteenth-century Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder is known
for his intricate paintings, many depicting everyday peasant activities,
some in a style inspired by that of Hieronymus Bosch. Bruegel's
paintings continue to intrigue art historians and aficionados to this
day, and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna has recently provided a
new resource for anyone interested in this Old Master. Launched in
October 2018, Inside Bruegel is a digital portal through which
visitors can examine in extreme detail twelve of Bruegel's paintings
that conservators have painstakingly captured using multiple imaging
methods. In addition to the visible light macrophotography showing the
paintings as they are seen today, readers can also view them using
infrared macrophotography and reflectography, as well as X-radiography.
These additional methods allow viewers to look beyond the final images
of the paintings and see elements such as the "underdrawings" Bruegel
sketched before painting, which sometimes show startling details. For
example, in The Battle Between Carnival and Lent, X-radiography revealed a corpse in a cart that had at some point been painted over. Available in both English and German, Inside Bruegel was created to accompany a rare exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum featuring all of Bruegel's extant works together.
