The Parable of the Blind
Abstract：Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525-1569) was the greatest painter of the 16th century in the Netherlands. He took rural life as the subject of his artistic creations, and people called him 'the Peasant Bruegel'. He was thoughtful, naturally humorous, and loved exaggerated artistic forms, so he was also given the nickname 'the Jocular Bruegel'. He inherited the artistic style of early 16th-century Dutch painters and the founder of surrealist paintings, Bosch, and was hailed as 'the New Bosch'. He was the first 'peasant painter' in the history of European art, and also the last genius art master of the Netherlandish school. Although Bruegel's paintings number only about fifty, their influence in the history of art is not to be underestimated, which is closely related to his artistic views: daring to face real life, not avoiding ugliness, and criticizing social ills, so his works often contain profound meanings.
