EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pissing at the Moon" by Pieter Brueghel the Younger transports us to a stormy coastal scene in the 16th or 17th century. The baroque painting, measuring 17x19.7 cm, showcases a solitary male figure aiming his urine towards the crescent moon under a moonlit sky. Despite the bad weather and raining atmosphere, there is an undeniable sense of tranquility and peacefulness in this picturesque nocturne. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the stormy sea and shoreline but also reflecting on themes of reflection itself. The oval-shaped panel adds an interesting dimension to this unique artwork. Brueghel's composition skillfully combines elements of maritime life with meteorology and science, showcasing his mastery as both a painter and observer of nature. The juxtaposition between man-made action (urinating) against the vastness of nature (the moon) creates a thought-provoking contrast that invites viewers to contemplate their place within the world. Displayed here as a print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, this remarkable piece allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Brueghel's talent while adding an intriguing conversation starter for any space it graces.
