Egg Hunting in Bruegel's Prints

After an egg hunting in the Bruegel's paintings, let's hunt some eggs or ovoïd forms in Pieter Bruegel The Elder's prints.

in Patientia (Patience), c.1559 - 1561


"P- Brueghel" is named as "inventor" on a card suspended from the cracked monster-egg at the lower right.






in Luxuria (Lust)






in Desidia (Sloth)



in Ira (Anger) - print

in Ira (Anger) - engraving








in The Land of Cockaigne, c. 1567


We also have to add The Fool trying to hatch an empty Egg, 1558
