Reversing Saul

Date: 1567

The painting depicts a medieval military expedition in mountainous terrain. The armour and equipment of the knights and their horses suggest the period around the fifteenth century. The figures are dressed in period armour and costumes, some wearing helmets on their heads. The group is positioned on a winding mountain road lined with steep cliffs and tall trees, creating a dramatic atmosphere. Leading figures on horseback seem to encourage the retinue to advance, while others follow in an organized fashion.

Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625). Flemish painter. Son of Pieter Brueghel the Elder and father of Jan Brueghel the Younger. He is famous for his still life paintings with flowers (one of them can even be found in Prague). For his favourite theme, he is called "flowery" Brueghel, and possibly for his favourite material, he is also called "velvety." Unlike his brother Pieter Brueghel the Younger, he developed a personalized and nuanced style of painting, distinct from his father’s. Many of his paintings originated through collaborations with other artists (for example, he painted figures into other artist’s landscapes and vice versa).
