The majestic and unique Bruegel exhibition in Vienna includes also „Dulle Griet“ (1563), a masterpiece better known as „in the face of hell“ which mocks the hierarchical relations of men and women, a timely issue! Also the real inventor of emojis seems to be Bruegel, just look at the figure at the bottom @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna #vienna #bruegeltheelder #bruegel #dullegriet #antwerp #emoji #museummayervandenbergh (at Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnCgCjloRk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xxuxauklx8dg
