The Fine Arts Museum, affiliated with the Fine Arts Sector, continues to invite citizens to stay at home, through its official page on Facebook, saying "Stay in your house and we will give you the museum to yours", in order to deal with the Corona virus, as the museum displays during the month of Ramadan , The most important holdings of the Museum of Fine Arts in Alexandria will be seen in (Online Museum), including a winter landscape painting by Peter Bruges, one of the most important Dutch and Flemish Renaissance artists, known for landscape painting and peasant scenes.
He was one of the first generation to have grown up when religious issues stopped in the run-up to the Renaissance. Bruges traveled to study in Italy and returned again in 1555 to settle in Antwerp, the Netherlands. His famous paintings came in his last decade before his early death, as he died in his early forties.
The features of his art were reminiscent of medieval themes such as the drama of marginalized classes, such as agricultural workers and others. He was also a celebrity who drew illustrations for books in the Renaissance.
Several painters appeared in his family, so he had to cancel the letter H from his signature to become "pruegel" instead of "prueghel" and his relatives continued to use the original name.
The two main sources of Bruges' biography are: the historian Ludovico Gicardini’s account of the Lowlands in 1567 and the novel of the historian Karel van Mander in 1604. His family background and upbringing are not known precisely, but he is likely from the Dutch countryside for his excessive focus on village scenes.
From the records of the Antwerp Syndicate, historians have concluded that his birth was between 1525 and 1530 Projel's paintings were highly sought after by art sponsors and wealthy flemish politicians and politicians. Bruges had two sons, both of whom were also photographed, "Peter Bruges the Younger" and "Jan Bruges". Bruges Father died early before they both taught art extensively.
The historian Van Mandir records that before his death, Bruegel told his wife to burn some of his drawings, we do not know the exact reason, but perhaps it was provocative political or ideological, and his request for this was out of remorse or out of keeping his family. He died in Brussels on September 9, 1569
