Abstract (en)

Bruegel's landscape paintings are discussed in relationship to late 16th c. art theory. Upholding the status of painting as "craft," his landscapes, with their truth to nature and incorporation of Italian principles of painting, are a celebration of the native Netherlandish tradition. His activity as a landscape painter was in this respect crucial in ushering in a period of cultural self-definition in the Netherlands during the 16th c.
