Netherlandish Proverbs

Netherlandish Proverbs, a painting by Dutch Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder, illustrates more than one hundred Dutch language proverbs and idioms.

"Two men defecating out of a window, a man biting into a wooden pillar, another man banging his head against a wall, a man burying a calf, a man attempting to scoop up spilled porridge, and a woman tying into a bundle what appears to be the devil."

See all the proverbs on an interactive version of the painting (go to this link, click the X in the upper right corner and the map should appear).
