Narrative Elements in Breugel’s Art | Magical Writer Session

Peter Breugel, a colorful Netherlands painter of the mid-1500s, illustrates the development of storytelling devices in Renaissance painting - with lessons for today’s narrative writers. A short prologue traces the development of solid, stable Italian Renaissance painting - structures which Breugel will subvert as he evolves his own ways of building up a story. This video is part of the Magical Writer course, an online class taught in the Reclaiming tradition of magic and activism.
