This painting is called Dutch Proverbs by artist Pieter Brueghel the Elder in 1559. It contains pleasant peasants, showing over 100 proverbs. It is located in Staatliche Gemaldegalerie, Berlin, Germany. A few of the proverbs are "The die is cast," It depends on how the cards fall," and "The big fish eat small." But I think I can find evidence of fairy tales in this painting. I can see Cinderella carrying out her daily chores, or the wicked step-mother preparing her step-son for her husband's stew. The three little pigs are there with their mother as the Little Mermaid's Prince sails out to sea. How many others can you find?http://www.windowslivetranslator.com/BV.aspx?ref=Internal#http://www.pieter-bruegel.com/proverbe/explication3.htm
