Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel I by Colin Batty

The Bosch and Bruegel Society was founded on a common fondness for the work of the painters Hieronymus Bosch (c.1450 -1516) and Pieter Bruegel I (c.1525 -1569). We are dedicated to the joyous, focused exploration of the worlds bequeathed us in their paintings.

Examples of our inquiries include "The Problem of the Dog-Legged Gate and its Appearance in the Works of Bosch and Bruegel," and the reproduction of The Lapis Documents, undocumented pages from the personal journal of an artist working in the Low Countries during the 16th Century. The Bosch and Bruegel Society topic list is as varied and fantastic as the works of the artists themselves and it leads to a fuller appreciation of their art.

Bruges at Dawn

On April 21, 2010, four members of the Bosch and Bruegel Society flew to Amsterdam for a splendid ten day tour of paintings and historic sites in Belgium and Holland. It included three days in Bruges, two days in Gent, with a day trip to Brussels, half a day in Antwerp, two days in s'Hertogenbosch, half a day in Rotterdam and a final day in Amsterdam. See the President's Diary to plan your own B+B tour. We highly recommend it! The museums are gorgeous, the people are very friendly, the food is delicious, the lodgings are comfortable and the scenery is incredible.
