The painting below has many names, including the Blue Cloak.



Painted in the 16th century be a renowned Dutch artist, can YOU see some or all of his subtle pokes at humanity?

In the lower left you see a women carrying a smoking ember and a bucket of water. It illustrates the dutch proverb of "never believe someone who carries fire in one hand and water in the other". It's supposed to represent someone who is a two faced, shit stirring, douche.



I think that's something we all have been touched by recently.

On the upper left corner through a window, a man and woman are having hanky panky in the attic.

Banging your head against a brick wall, the world is turned upside down and it looks like the guy is taking a crap on it, the die is cast, throwing feathers into the wind, swimming against the current....



There are so many points.

Yes it does but anyone can list them. The trick is applying them or eluding to some form of life experience in order to explain their relevancy. Which BTW, I did.  ac_sothere
