T. J. Clark offers profound insights into Bruegel's art, where we encounter a reality formed from wholly worldly materials, yet suspended between belief and disbelief.

Celebrating the undiminished vitality of their ideas today, these covetable and collectable little books embody the best of Thames & Hudson.
