Working on the drawings for the workshop of Coca, Bruegel did not forget about the painting. Although the paintings created by Bruegel at home, had little effect on the impressions received during the trip abroad, the influence of the Italian Renaissance is felt in many of the early works of the painter.
Thus, his landscapes are marked by the desire to fit on a small canvas a grandiose in size picture of the surrounding reality.
In many early works of Bruegel, there is an interest in the image of a vast, almost space, absorbing person, who, amidst a majestic and infinite nature, seems tiny and helpless.
