Abstract

Netherlandish Proverbs, or the Blue Cloak as it is sometimes called, includes visual representations of perhaps more than 90 individual proverbs. The precise number of proverbs remains somewhat uncertain because modern scholarly interpretations vary and, in some case, more than one proverb might be assigned to the same component in the painting.
