Cartin with the image The Netherlands Proverbs - "Encyclopedia of all human wisdom assembled under the jester cap" includes more than 100 scene-metaphors, through which the people's wit raised the vanity and the stupidity of many human undertakings.

Picture exhibited in Berlin picture gallery, filled with symbols relating to the Netherlands Proverbs and sayings, but not all of them are deciphered modern researchersSince some expressions with time. His son made about 20 copies of the father's work, and not all copies exactly reproduce the original, differing from him near the details. The picture shows about a hundred famous proverbsAlthough probably Bruegel actually portrayed even more that are not deciphered today. Some proverbs are still common, some gradually lose their meaning. Mass scenes are one of the favorite stories of Bruegel. The Breyghelevsky "Masters" adjoins this picture, perhaps the most strange of all. Collecting proverbs - one of many expressions of the Encyclopedic Spirit of the XVI century. The beginning of this hobby put in 1500 great Humanist Epochs Northern Renaissance Erasmus Rotterdamsky. Flemish and German meetings followed his publication of proverbs and famous transactions of Latin authors.

Flemish Proverbs (or "Netherlands Proverbs", "Peace upside down") (ang. The Topsy-Turvy World) - Written in 1559, the picture of Peter Bruegel senior, which depicts the literal values \u200b\u200bof the Netherlands proverbs. The picture depicting the Netherlands Proverbs - "Encyclopedia of all human wisdom assembled under the judovsky cap," includes more than 100 scene-metaphors, through which the people's wit raised the vanity and the stupidity of many human undertakings. Peter Bruegel Sr., known as "Menietic" (Pieter Bruegel de Oude\u003e, Ok. 1525 - 1569) - South Diecery painter and schedule, the most famous and significant of the artists who worn this name. Master landscape I. genre scenes Not forgotten. With a large artistic power, Bruegel represents a picture of absurdity, weakness, stupidity of man.

Peter Bruegel Junior (Hello) and Yana Bruegel senior (paradise, floral, velvet). The picture exhibited in the Berlin Art Gallery is filled with symbols relating to the Netherlands Proverbs and sayings, but not all of them are deciphered by modern researchers, as some expressions with time. His son made about 20 copies of the father's work, and not all copies exactly reproduce the original, differing from him near the details. The picture shows about hundreds of famous proverbs, though, probably, Bruegel actually depicted even more that were not deciphered today. Some proverbs are still common, some gradually lose their meaning. Mass scenes are one of the favorite stories of Bruegel. The Breyghelevsky "Masters" adjoins this picture, perhaps the most strange of all. Collecting proverbs - one of many expressions of the Encyclopedic Spirit of the XVI century. The beginning of this hobby put in 1500 the great humanist of the era of the Northern Renaissance Erasmus Rotterdam. Flemish and German meetings followed his publication of proverbs and famous transactions of Latin authors. In 1564, a satirical Roman Rabl "Gargantua and Pantagruel" was published, which describes the island of proverbs. For 1558, Bruegel has already written the cycle "Twelve Proverbs", consisting of separate small boards. And his "Village of Proverbs" did not have in the past precedents; This is not just a set of proverbs, somehow forcibly reduced together, but a carefully worked picture. The canvas itself is small, 117 by 164 cm. And in such a small space, the artist managed to place more than a hundred plot miniatures!

Let's try on a small reproduction to consider at least some plots. Compassion of the whole picture is built up so: individual miniatures are connected not purely mechanically, and one plot turns out of meaning continued and developed by others. Considering the characters, solving the cipher, suddenly understand the meaning of this complex picture. It turns out that Bruegel in the Netherlands Proverbs is not a banal collector of proverbs at all. And his work is not entertainment for a bored slacker, but edification. It is easy to see that most proverbs, even from those who have fallen into the review, are trendy, they condemn stupid, immoral behavior. That's what the meaning of the pavement is clearly understood in the picture of the globe image - in a normal and inverted form. The world of the picture is an inverted world in which the terrible reality was that there should be no reality. It is so every week, so it's going on not only nonsense - the next hand is going on hand with stupid evil. Tilted world. Capture. Destroyed world.
