Info painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, digitized by Google Art Project - uploaded by DcoetzeeBot (bot of Dcoetzee) - nominated by Dcoetzee -- From en:Netherlandish_Proverbs: "Netherlandish Proverbs (also called The Blue Cloak or The Topsy Turvy World) is a 1559 oil-on-oak-panel painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder which depicts a land populated with literal renditions of Flemish proverbs of the day. [...] There are around 100 identifiable idioms in the scene". This particular digitization, from the Google Art Project, is not only higher resolution than our other copies of the same work (5649 × 4000 or 22.6 megapixels) but also has better colors and is sharper, allowing elements that were not discernable before to be identified (see e.g. this fish). It's used in 46 articles on 29 projects and currently has 44 extracted images depicting individual proverbs. Has a good artwork template with 10 translations of the title, albeit missing provenance and accession number. On the minus side, it could definitely use image notes and Google's title for the work (The Dutch Proverbs) appears to be their own invention (possible rename?).
