Regurgitating Nature: On a Celebrated Anecdote by Karel van Mander about Pieter Bruegel the Elder

For Michel Weemans

splendour of his admirable ideas

In Les couilles de Cézanne (Cézanne’s balls) Jean-Claude Lebensztejn recounts a quite striking but equally forgotten anecdote about the great artist: “Gauguin relates how in 1879 or 1880, while [Cézanne] was painting out of doors in Médan, a passing walker claiming to be a former pupil of Corot offered to rectify his landscape. Cézanne scraped away the gentleman’s additions with an acid remark and then, after a moment’s silence, let out a great fart accompanied by the words: ‘Ah! That’s better.’”³ Far from the image of Cézanne the theoretician, so beloved of art historians, the anecdote clearly shows the artist brazenly farting in the face of academism and established tradition.

CODART, Dutch and Flemish art in museums worldwide

Artists with the name Brueghel, also spelled Bruegel, played a major role in European visual culture beginning in the mid-sixteenth century. Their paintings, drawings, and prints are admired internationally for the exceptional quality of their execution, their witty and entertaining compositions, and their meticulous description of contemporary society and the natural world. The Brueghel family consisted of no less than five generations of artists, who were active from ca. 1550 until ca. 1700.  Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the most famous member of this artistic dynasty, was born in Brabant, “not far from Breda, in a village called Breughel,” according to his biographer, Karel van Mander. The exhibition Brueghel: The Family Reunion (Brueghel: De familiereünie) marks the first time in The Netherlands that all five generations of artists will come together under one roof. It promises to be a spectacular family reunion, with approximately 80 paintings from renowned collections throughout Europe and North America.

The exhibition showcases the family’s entire cast of characters, beginning with Pieter Coecke van Aelst and Mayken Verhulst, the father-in-law and mother-in-law of Pieter Bruegel. This dynamic artist duo was ins
