Product description

Netherlandish Proverbs
Original Title: Nederlandse Spreuken Date: 1559 Style: Northern Renaissance Period: Antwerp Period (1554-1562) Series: The World Turned Upside Down Genre: allegorical painting Media: oil, panel Location: Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, Germany Dimensions: 117 x 163 cm Also entitled The Blue Cloak or The Topsy Turvy World, this painting contains a literal illustration of idioms and aphorisms of 16th century Flemish life. Whereas some of the idioms have been lost to history, others are still relevant and in use today. Although other artists and authors had produced paintings and books on proverbs, this painting is considered to be the first large-scale rendition of the theme. The proverbs, of which there are over 100, as well as the early titles, are meant to illustrate human stupidity and foolishnes. Również zatytułowany The Blue Cloak or The Topsy Turvy World, ten obraz zawiera dosłowną ilustrację idiomów i aforyzmów z XVI-wiecznego flamandzkiego życia. Podczas gdy niektóre idiomy zaginęły w historii, inne są nadal aktualne i używane do dziś. Chociaż inni artyści i autorzy tworzyli obrazy i książki o przysłowiach, ten obraz jest uważany za pierwsze wielkoskalowe przedstawienie tematu. Przysłowia, których jest ponad 100, jak również wczesne tytuły, mają ilustrować ludzką głupotę i bezmyślność.
