"This reunion of all five generations looks anew at the Brueghels and the context in which they worked. Who were members of this successful family and what connects their diverse careers? How did their fascination with the local landscape lead to new ways of representing nature in art? What do their artworks reveal about the consequences of global trade and European colonization? For the first time, attention is given to the crucial role of women in the family business"--Page [4] of cover.
