| dc.description | The Sermon of Saint John the Baptist in the Arbroath Art Gallery is an ingenious interweaving of three works by Pieter Bruegel the Elder: the Sermon of Saint John the Baptist, the Massacre of the Innocents and the Conversion of Saul. It was conceived as a pastiche from the start and presents a stylistically unified painting. Although it has features in common with Brueghel the Younger’s production, several factors make this unlikely. Most striking is the use of liquid underdrawing for the foreground figures, never seen in Brueghel’s work. There are also no known copies of the Conversion of Saul by Brueghel the Younger. Nonetheless, technical and stylistic similarities suggest that the pasticheur might have trained in Brueghel’s studio. He had firsthand knowledge of one of the latter’s versions of the Sermon of Saint John and either the original or a Brueghel the Younger copy of the Massacre of the Innocents. | en_US |
