Commented out sentence[edit]

The following statement was commented out pending discussion:

In the center left of the painting, a group of villagers can be seen participating in the blood sport of cock throwing.^[1]

I looked at this painting up close and in person and do not remember seeing any "cock throwing" anywhere in the scene and especially in the "center left." Unless someone verify that it does exist, despite what the reference says, I will delete the sentence entirely.98.90.26.224 (talk) 13:54, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It was commissioned by Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp. Depicting the harvest, in July, August or late summer, the painting is one in a series of six works representing different times of the year. As in many of his paintings, the focus is on peasants and their work and does not have the religious themes common in landscape works of the time. The painting is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, which has described it as a "watershed in the history of Western art".Painting: Pieter Bruegel the Elder
