Pieter Bruegel, Christ Carrying the Cross 1564.

Pieter Bruegel, The Mad Greta 1563.

The title character of the painting, created between 1562 and 1564, is a 

character of Flemish folklore who storms hell in a fit of madness to 

satiate his greed.

The painting was influenced by the works of Hieronymus Bosch.

Pieter Bruegel, The Misanthrope 1568.

One of the artist's last paintings, which was painted a year before his death.

The phrase in Dutch, at the bottom of the painting, translates as: "Since the 

world is so treacherous, I wear mourning." The letters were drawn by an 

unauthorized hand and probably at a later time, but it is believed that the 

meaning of this inscription coincides with what the artist wanted to show.
