Pieter Bruegel the Elder‘s The Ass at School, 1556. This drawing is his rendering of a Dutch saying that if you send an ass to school, it won’t become a horse. Bruegel loved to portray scenes like this, full of ordinary people and bustling with details and activity. This was a new approach in the Renaissance – scenes like this had not previously been seen as worthy of artistic representation.{WHF} {HTE} {Medium} -- source link
