Well,...Can't forgive Bernini for beating Bosch. Well, okay, I guess I can forgive him but only because he's so obviously great. But Bruegel is even better. Bernini is "too perfect" somehow, while Bruegel has an oddness (dare I say a bit of Boschness?) that feels much more human and personal. Also I appreciate his choices of subject matter way way more. He's Beethoven to Bernini's Haydn...or something. I mean obviously no one in any artform is as great as Beethoven. It's just a metaphor, okay??pflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866574024138674337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-42407202468237587132014-09-09T06:28:47.884-07:002014-09-09T06:28:47.884-07:00BerniniBerninilamanyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947181044230659596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-7868459197770774762014-09-08T12:35:09.679-07:002014-09-08T12:35:09.679-07:00BruegelBruegelDrSchnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428753570121627382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-44549249692509651822014-09-06T17:44:45.752-07:002014-09-06T17:44:45.752-07:00Bruegel for me.Bruegel for me.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475862386179357634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-42900832072192276492014-09-06T16:18:33.597-07:002014-09-06T16:18:33.597-07:00Clash of the titans!
