The Fall of the Magician (2025)Acrylic painting
by Corinne Hamer

Here is another painting in my most popular ‘Bruegel’ series, depicting characters from some of Bruegel’s great works.
This piece is my coloured interpretation of one of Bruegel’s drawings’, The Fall of the Magician. St James stands in front of a church, raising his hand in blessing toward the magician Hermogenes, who has been turned upside down together with his chair by a motley group of devils and monstrous creatures, many of whom are in the midst of performing acrobatics or playing instruments.
Through the relationship between the various elements within the work hints of narrative and representation may emerge.
Perfect for adding a statement piece to living spaces that may create a talking point with visitors.
Executed in good quality acrylic paints, painted on all sides, and finished with a glaze of gloss varnish to protect against sunlight and dust. It just needs a nail or wall fitting to sit flush against the wall.
You will receive a signed certificate of authenticity.
The painting is 16 x 12 inches in size and is on stretched canvas.
All art is professionally packaged to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. My works have been shipped worldwide.
About me:
I am a painter, mostly in acrylics although I have previously worked in oils.
I love to paint, love colours, shapes’, and textures. I love the idea that a different story can be read into each of my paintings and each viewer may interpret a story different to another.
