EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Who Knows why Geese Walk Barefoot?" by Pieter Brueghel the Younger takes us back to rural Belgium in the late 16th century. The painting, created with oil on panel, measures a modest 17x17 cm and is currently housed in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp. In this allegorical masterpiece, Brueghel explores the enigmatic behavior of geese walking barefoot. The circular composition draws our attention to a group of men observing these peculiar birds. Their expressions reflect curiosity and bewilderment as they ponder the proverbial question: Who knows why geese walk barefoot? The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail, from the feathers of each bird to the rustic attire worn by the men. This tondo format adds an element of uniqueness and emphasizes their contemplation within this self-contained world. Brueghel's work often delves into allegories that invite viewers to interpret hidden meanings beyond what meets the eye. In this particular piece, he invites us to reflect upon life's mysteries and embrace uncertainty. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of Brueghel's exceptional talent as both a painter and storyteller. His ability to create thought-provoking scenes transcends time, allowing us to appreciate his artistry even centuries later. "Who Knows why Geese Walk Barefoot?" stands as a testament to Brueghel's enduring legacy
