EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures the essence of Pieter Bruegel the Elder's masterpiece, "Whatever I do is in vain. I piss at the moon". Painted in 1558, this allegorical artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of Museum Mayer van den Bergh in Antwerp. Bruegel, a renowned artist from Flanders during the early Netherlandish art movement, delves into mythology and literature to convey his message through twelve proverbs. In this particular painting, he presents a thought-provoking scene where a figure urinates towards the moon – an act symbolizing futility and insignificance. The oil on wood technique employed by Bruegel brings depth and richness to each detail. The composition is meticulously crafted with vibrant colors and intricate brushstrokes that showcase his mastery as an artist. As we gaze upon this print, we are invited to ponder our own actions and their ultimate meaning. Are our endeavors truly worthwhile or merely futile gestures? Bruegel challenges us to reflect on life's complexities through his visual storytelling. Museum Mayer van den Bergh has carefully preserved this remarkable piece of art history for generations to come. It serves as a testament to Bruegel's enduring legacy as one of the most influential painters of his time.
