Caption: "Whatever I do, I do not Repent, I Keep Pissing against the Moon" - A Symbolic 16th Century Artwork by Pieter Bruegel the Elder This intriguing print captures a remarkable painting titled "Whatever I do, I do not Repent, I Keep Pissing against the Moon" created between 1558 and 1560 by renowned Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Housed in the Museum Mayer van der Berg in Antwerp, Belgium, this artwork is part of a series depicting twelve proverbs. In this particular piece, we see a full-length adult male standing outdoors under moonlight. Dressed in vibrant red attire with an overcoat and coat layered on top of each other, he stands with his back facing us while pointing towards the crescent moon above. The man's unrepentant attitude is symbolically portrayed through his act of urinating against the moon. Bruegel's work often incorporated elements of science and symbolism into his paintings. Here, he explores themes related to human nature and individuality within society using celestial imagery from astronomy. The lunar symbolism adds depth to the proverbial message conveyed by this artwork. The composition showcases Bruegel's mastery as an artist through his meticulous attention to detail and use of color. This print invites viewers to reflect upon their own attitudes towards life choices while appreciating Bruegel's unique artistic expression from the 16th century.
