Picture of the Week (Year?): The Triumph of Death, painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder around 1562 (Prado Museum, Madrid).

While the picture may not overwhelm you with the first impression, a closer scrutiny will be quite rewarding: you will find dozens (perhaps a hundred or so) quite delightful, even if often disturbing, mini-stories or lore references. (Then you come back a month later and find a few more, quite obvious ones.) A treasure hunt, indeed!

Have a look for yourself. The Flipper below shows a selection of such fragments. Quite entertaining, I'd say. Did I mention disturbing?
