This week, we're just looking at one painting, but we're looking at it closely. The painting is Hunters in the Snow by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 16th century.

Wish I could see it in person! I also like The Beekeepers, Netherlandish Proverbs, and Landscape with the Fall of Icarus.
This is a very interesting painting, but breaking it down the way you did made me feel that each section could be a work in itself...and really nice works at that!
