Netherlandish Proverbs
Pieter Bruegel the Elder
More than a hundred proverbs hidden as scenes in a single village: pies on the roof, a man banging his head against a wall, someone throwing roses before swine, a wife hanging a blue cloak on her husband. Every one was a saying of the time. Bruegel's comedy of human folly yields a new story every time you look.
