The results of his journey are a revelation: Bruegel's panels, their landscapes teeming with robust life, become a lens through which Ferris takes stock of the world, informing everything from mortality, fatherhood and contemporary life, to the bombing of Rotterdam, the extinction of North American megafauna and how to ward off bears in the forest."--adapted from publisher's description 600 10 $a Bruegel, Pieter, $d approximately 1525-1569. 600 10 $a Bruegel, Pieter, $d approximately 1525-1569 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Bruegel, Pieter, $d approximately 1525-1569 $x Themes, motives. 600 10 $a Ferris, Toby $x Travel. 655 7 $a Art criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200805010746.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200407010406.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200318010212.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C2C2564268DD11EA9C5A9E4D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
