"Spreekwoorden" by Pieter Bruegel (1528 - 1569)

I've build the most amazing puzzle based on the painting "Spreekwoorden" by Pieter Bruegel.

I am absolutely fasinated by his talent to combine so many different (100+ infact) proverbs on one painting. I wanted to learn each of the proverbs by heart at some point, but never got to do it.

Click here to view the painting:

Click here to read some of the proverbs (73) with their description (in Dutch) and indication of where to find them on the painting:

When I find another longer list, I'll send the link.

I found it! There are a total of 127 on this list the last time I counted!

It will show you on the painting where to look for the proverb when you click on it.

Can you spot them without looking?

Have fun!
