The Story in the Margin
“Netherlandish Proverbs” (1559) packs a bustling village scene with more than 100 visual puns illustrating Dutch proverbs and idioms of the day — figures banging their heads against walls, casting roses before swine, or trying to catch two fish with one hand. Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525–1569) used the crowded composition to satirize human folly, and many of the sayings he illustrated are still used in Dutch, Flemish and English today. The painting hangs in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.
