Oil on wood panel
1) Close to dying depicts a gallow
2) A duke was sent to the Netherlands to supress the teachings of Protestants a year before Bruegel finished this painting. The gallows and dancers and guy pooping in the corner are a form of mocking the state. Magpies were also thought to be gossips, and gossip lead to hangings so a magpie on a gallow visually represents that.

But then I read the background info and how it's kind of a political forewarning and now I appreciate the symbolism more.]]> 2018-11-03 22:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/1469962/8h09t8fo091g/wish/300119416 Landscape with the Fall of Icarus - My Opinion 1469962 https://padlet.com/1469962/8h09t8fo091g/wish/300119427 I like this painting because it looks all bright and happy but in reality it's a tragedy with the "fallen angel", Icarus, thrashing unnoticed in the water below. This was definitely one of Bruegel's allegories in the way that life doesn't care if you fall.]]> 2018-11-03 22:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/1469962/8h09t8fo091g/wish/300119427 The Hunters in the Snow - My Opinion 1469962 https://padlet.com/1469962/8h09t8fo091g/wish/300119446 I thought this piece was ahead of it's time, in the way that it captures winter perfectly with the contrast in colors. It reminds me of the eighteen hundreds more than the time period it was made because you can't see anyone's faces or era specific clothing. It's cold and people were just dressing more and it creates this cool timeless effect. I also like this piece because it uses a different color scheme for Bruegel who seems to stick to the oranges and reds.
