Dull Gret
''Dulle Griet'' (anglicized as ''Dull Gret''), also known as ''Mad Meg'', is a figure of Flemish folklore who is the subject of a 1563 oil-on-panel by Flemish renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The painting depicts a virago, Dulle Griet, who leads an army of women to pillage Hell, and is currently held and exhibited at the Museum Mayer van den Bergh in Antwerp. History and description A restoration of the painting in 2018 revealed that it was painted in 1563, shortly after the painter had moved to Brussels. Previously, the signature and the date on the painting had been illegible, and it was assumed that it was painted two years earlier, or, based on its close compositional and stylistic similarity to '' The Fall of the Rebel Angels'' and ''The Triumph of Death'', one year earlier. Like those pictures, ''Dulle Griet'' owes much to Hieronymus Bosch. It is assumed the painting was destined for a series.Cf. Pietro Allegretti. ''Brueghel''. Milan: Skira, 2003. Bruege ...
