Pieter Brueghel the Younger copied his father's popular painting the original of which now hangs in the Staatliche Museen in Berlin.
More than a hundred proverbs and idiomatic expressions have been identified, describing "topsy-turvy" ways of behaviour. This explains the other name occasionally given the painting, that of The Topsy-Turvy World. Some of the artist's proverbs are still in use today. Other painted sayings come closer to metaphor.
