Olivia - 1500-1650 Art


I chose "Children's Games" by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.  This painting, referred to as the "encyclopedia of Flemish children's games" depicts more than 250 children playing more than 84 games.  I chose this painting because it seemed like children were rarely used as subjects in art during this period.  Children's Games was painted in 1559 with oil on wood.
