Carro coperto
Jan Brueghel the Elder, son of the famous Pieter Bruegel, skips the velvet smoothness he's known for in this energetic sketch of a bumpy road trip. Two sturdy horses strain against their harnesses to pull a large, canvas-covered wagon, guided by a driver in a wide-brimmed hat. Inside the cozy, curtained cabin, passengers peek out, looking ready for a long journey across the Flemish countryside. It’s a charming glimpse into 17th-century travel, showing how Baroque artists used quick drawings to capture the motion of everyday life before tackling their massive, detailed masterpieces.
