Pieter Bruegel’s painting, Children’s Games, shows that he is an ideal Renaissance man. In the painting, children and adults are playing 80 different kinds of games. They play with dolls, perform a mock wedding, and do handstands. Everyone depicted in the painting is happy and carefree as they go about their play. Children’s Games was started in 1159 and finished in 1560. This painting shows the Renaissance ideal of secularism because it is a painting of an everyday scene where children and adults are playing non-religious games. The painting also illustrates the Renaissance value of realism because it shows realistic details from everyday life, and it has accurate proportions. The background to the human activities is a town and landscape that seems realistic and true-to-life. Individualism is shown in this painting as well because Pieter Bruegel is known for depicting scenes from everyday life with extravagant detail; this is his own individual style. Children’s Games is an excellent example of Pieter’s artwork that shows the Renaissance ideals.
