Welcome to my blog. Dishonest woman? You decide.
In the 16th century the painter, Pieter Bruegel the elder, set about depicting a number of sayings within his works. But he was rather clever about it all, giving his observers something to ponder over, even almost 500 years later.
The image here is from Bruegel's painting "A Topsy Turvy World" (you might know it as The Nederlandse Proverbs). Is she a loving wife, her arms lovingly embracing her man? Or does her red dress, low decollage, and uncovered hair suggest she might be up to something when her husband isn't looking? While her beloved wears a blue cloak.... You decide.
"Woman is the root of all evil"
or so said St Jerome (circa 320-420)
