The Peasant and the Nest Robber
''The Peasant and the Nest Robber'' (also ''The Peasant and the Birdnester'') is an oil-on-panel by Flemish renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, painted in 1568. It is currently held and exhibited at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
==Description==
This painting was in the collections of since 1569; passed on to the imperial collection, it became part of those of the Kunsthistorisches Museum at its inauguration.〔For a short time it also became part of Napoleon's war booty.〕 Painted the year before the artist's death, this painting, like other late work such as ''The Land of Cockaigne'', ''The Peasant Dance'', and ''The Peasant Wedding'', is dominated by monumental figures. Immediately after his return from Italy, Bruegel showed no apparent interest in Italian figure types and compositions, reverting to the Antwerp tradition in which he had been trained.〔Cf. Pietro Allegretti, ''Brueghel'', Skira, Milano 2003. ISBN 0-00-001088-X 〕 However, in these late works he shows that his study of Italian painting had taken root: these figures demonstrate his knowledge of Italian art and in particular the art of Michelangelo.〔Cf. Pietro Allegretti, ''Brueghel'', ''ibid.'' 〕
This unusual subject apparently illustrates a Netherlandish proverb: ''Die das Nest wissen, wissen es, die es rauben, haben es.''
He who knows where the nest is, has the knowledge, he who robs, has the nest.〔Cf. R. Rucker, "Notes for ''Ortelius and Bruegel''" (2011), (p.55 )〕 The painting presents a moralising contrast between the active, wicked individual and the passive man who is virtuous in spite of adversity〔Another interpretation could be that "the pushy guy gets the girl", as according to some "nest" in Flemish may mean "pussy". Cf. R. Rucker, "Notes for ''Ortelius and Bruegel''" , ''ibid.'' ()〕 (a similar theme appears in his drawing ''The Beekeepers'')〔Currently at the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin.〕
It has been suggested that, with his knowledge of Italian art, Bruegel intended the peasant's gesture as a profane parody of the gesture of Leonardo's ''St John'' see image at left.〔F. Grossmann, ''Pieter Bruegel: Complete Edition of the Paintings'' (3rd ed.), London:Phaidon (1973), ''s.v.''〕
