    1. Yes! He was quite a storyteller with his compositions. The variety of facial expressions is amazing. 😎

    Couldn’t help but wonder how Bruegel actually executed this piece: It is unlikely that he could get dozens of people to pose for this scene ALL the while he was painting.
    And photography wasn’t available yet, for him to work from a photograph. Could this have been largely generated from an amazing ability to imagine/create something from memory?

    1. I have read that his sons continued his work in the same style by copying sketched patterns he left behind when he died. I would love to learn more about how he did this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Dee. 🙂🌺

  7. I am actually familiar with this painting from a hidden object art game I played probably ten years ago. There is just so much happening in the painting! And I love the thoughts on the different people and elements. Thank you again for a great post!

    1. My pleasure, Sheila! I could look at this one for hours, so I can see how the painting could be a great hidden object game. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🙂🌺
