Now, it can be yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Fall of the Rebel Angels (1562):\u003c\/strong\u003e Bruegel's depiction of this subject is taken from a passage from the Book of Revelation (12, 2-9)[2] and reveals the artist's profound debt to Hieronymus Bosch, especially in the grotesque figures of the fallen angels, shown as half-human, half-animal monsters. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Triumph of Death (1562): \u003c\/strong\u003eIn this setting, legions of skeletons advance on the living, who either flee in terror or try in vain to fight back. In the foreground, skeletons haul a wagon full of skulls; in the upper left corner, others ring the bell that signifies the death knell of the world. People are herded into a coffin-shaped trap decorated with crosses, while a skeleton on horseback kills people with a scythe. The painting depicts people of different social backgrounds – from peasants and soldiers to nobles as well as a king and a cardinal – being taken by death indiscriminately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDull Griet (1563): \u003c\/strong\u003ealso known as \"Mad Meg\", is a figure of Flemish folklore who is the subject of a 1563 oil-on-panel by Flemish renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The painting depicts a virago, Dulle Griet, who leads an army of women to pillage Hell. Bruegel is thus making fun of noisy, aggressive women. At the same time he castigates the sin of covetousness: although already burdened down with possessions, Griet and her grotesque companions are prepared to storm the mouth of Hell itself in their search for more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"santiago-teststore","offers":[{"title":"The Fall of the Rebel Angels","offer_id":34570316873881,"sku":"PAINT58","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"The Triumph of Death","offer_id":34570349346969,"sku":"PAINT59","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dull Gret","offer_id":34570355736729,"sku":"PAINT60","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/8499\/6249\/products\/Pieter_Bruegel_the_Elder_-_The_Fall_of_the_Rebel_Angels_-_RMFAB_584__derivative_work.jpg?v=1591359442","url":"https:\/\/santiago-teststore.myshopify.com\/products\/the-death-series-by-pieter-bruegel-the-elder","provider":"santiago-teststore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
