      Pallieter. Roman
    • Timmermansov druhý historický román predstavuje život známeho flámskeho maliara Pietera Bruegela. Farbisto vykresľuje búrlivé obdobie nizozemských dejín – druhú polovicu XVI. storočia, kedy vrcholil boj proti nadvláde španielskych Habsburgovcov. Do knihy autor premietol mnohé autobiografické prvky (sám sa chcel stať maliarom, no preslávili ho diel literárne).
