This two amazing paintings were submitted by my girlfriend few minutes ago :) It made me real happy to see her interest in my optical illusions project. Both of these were painted by Pieter Brueghel (1525-69), usually known as Pieter Brueghel the Elder. He used that addition to his name, to distinguish himself from his elder son. You’ll often find his name spelled as Bruegel (he spelled it himself like that from 1559 onwards) or even Breugel or Breughel. If you look at both paintings long enough, you will notice many, strange hidden details. Don’t miss the second pictured titled “Big Fishes Eat Little Fishes” that is inside this post. It kinda reminded me of M&M scary movie poster. If you like surreal illusions glaze your eyes on submissions from Paul Parkus, David Dory, Steve Kreuscher… and more inside Escher Inspired category.

i honestly dont care about your girlfriend.
The fish one’s sort of creepy, especially because of the fish man running away with a fish in it’s mouth, the fact that the man is cutting the fish open with a giant knife, and the flying fish who looks like he’s going to eat the man with the ladder.
i dont get the top one but i get the fish
all i see on the yop one is a face on the left
Woah! Those pics are awesome!. In The first one i saw a face on the left and eyeballs everywhere! On the second one i saw that the man on the left in the fishing boat had a fish head. And on the right in the second one i saw a fish with legs!. Great pictures!
The clam is eating the fish!!
I would love to own that first one, glad the artist’s name was included.
