From Booklist
Gr. 5-7. As Shafer notes, artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder "left no written records of his trip" from Antwerp to Italy during the mid-1500s. Shafer imagines the trip, writing about it as if Bruegel had kept a journal, and the result is an episodic, idiosyncratic story in a handsome format. This is a picture book for older children; however, most of the audience will not know Bruegel and more context would have been helpful before plunging into his story. The text itself is intriguing with strong word images, but some passages need more explanation, particularly one in which a Catholic soldier shoves "a Protestant bearing the fuel with which he would be burned." The illustrations are well imagined, beautifully rendered drawings washed with watercolors and acrylics; they also have some quixotic elements. The book ends with two solid, instructive additions that might have been more useful as part of the introduction: a four-page section with 16 very small, color reproductions of Bruegel's paintings, each accompanied by identifying notes and a well-written paragraph of comments, as well as a page about the artist's life and works. Adult help will probably be necessary for kids to get the most out of this. Carolyn Phelan

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-An inviting illustrated chronicle of Bruegel's trip from Antwerp to Rome in the 16th century. The lively fictional diary entries report exciting events and provide a sense of the difficult times in which he lived. In the course of his journey, he encounters a Huguenot carrying straw for his own fiery execution, people suffering from a plague, a sea battle at Reggio, and even the smells of poverty. Very little is known about the subject's life, so Shafer imaginatively reconstructs the journey from the sometimes conflicting accounts that exist and from the artist's paintings and drawings. The use of the first person adds immediacy. Some entries have themes directly related to Bruegel's paintings, such as The Alchemist, The Beekeepers, and, perhaps his most famous image, The Hunters in the Snow. Shafer's watercolor-and-pencil illustrations perfectly capture the events of the engaging narrative. The biggest disappointment is the lack of source notes. Despite a detailed note that explains the lack of documentation about the painter's life, Shafer only refers to "my sources" and does not provide a bibliography. Otherwise, this is an appealing introduction to the painter, to the tradition of the artistic pilgrimage, and 16th-century life in general.

A BOOK FOR ALL AGES
22. Juni 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Regarded by most as the greatest Netherlands painter and draftsman of the 16th century , Pieter Bruegel is a fascinating figure. Focusing primarily on a journey made by Bruegel when the artist was in his twenties author Shafer brings this enigmatic figure to life.
After gaining membership in the prestigious Antwerp painters' guild Bruegel embarked on a trip across the Alps, heading for Rome where he planned to see the works of the great artists as well as that city's historic landmarks.
With thoughtfully imagined diary entries and breathtaking illustrations Shafer enables readers to observe the young Bruegel as he navigates a forest, visits Lyon, rides a barge up a winding river, and visits an alchemist.
Bruegel's two year odyssey is presented with panache and superb drawings. Included is a composite of Bruegel's art as well as author's notes defining Shafer's interest in the artist. While listed as a book for young readers, it is indeed for all ages.

Introducing Pieter Bruegel.....
13. November 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
"...Master Hieronymous Cock, of the Shop of the Four Winds, is pressing me to make a trip south to the great city of Rome. He intends that I shall draw as I go and then study the arts and ancient ruins there. "The prints we make from the drawings you bring back will travel to the four corners of the world," he says..." So begins Anders C. Shafer's intriguing story of the two year pilgrimage painter and draftsman, Pieter Bruegel, took from his home in Antwerp, over the Alps, and south to Rome. Using what little is known about Bruegel, from the writings of his contemporaries and his art, Mr Shafer imagines a fantastic journey, filled with history, drama, humor, and art. His clever text, written as eloquent diary entries, is engaging, and complemented by evocative illustrations. Together word and art draws the reader in, transports you back to the mid-sixteenth century, and paints a marvelously entertaining portrait of the man and his times. Mr Shafer includes an informative Author's Note, to augment and enhance the narrative, and an "art gallery", with enlightening commentary, of some of Pieter Bruegel's paintings. Perfect for youngsters 8-12, The Fantastic Journey Of Pieter Bruegel is an inspiring introductory biography that is sure to whet the appetite, and send kids out looking for more.
