Document Summary
Follower of bosch"s style travel to italy sketches show that he"s interested in landscape. High viewpoints - not at ground level. Looking on at roof level not eye level. Does not want to show figure"s face. Tower of babel similar to colloseum round arches, stands. Modeled it on roman architecture - pagan religion ruins of rome are model of misdirected ruins of the past. Dissatisfaction for way church was being ruled. Why image of mary is more powerful in one town and not in another town. Luther also not happy with images used by roman church. Churches used to be filled with images. Wasting money commissioned paintings to show off iconoclasm - destruction of images. Does not happen in italy or spain. Bruegel forced to master image making sold images to make money and spread name. Ex. giant fish - person cutting it.
