Earlier this evening I identified a Pieter Brueghel painting that was in service to swank up a wine label. I was vaguely displeased with myself for not remembering the name of the painting, and also surprised that I was the only one at the table who recognized it as Brueghel. I forget that not everyone is all up in the Northern Renaissance. A search reveals that it was Peasant Dance.
And the same search revealed that there is also a Brueghel painting available as a table lamp.
I am now sort of tempted to buy both the wine and the lamp, and juxtapose them. I wonder what else you can get Brueghel paintings on?

Shame on everyone for not being all up on the Northern Renaissance! Re Breugel kitsch, there’s also a beer, which seems appropriate. Oo! and you’ll like this: a tarot deck. I have to say that the lamp wins, though.

So in sum, with Brueghel themed-products, you can drink. And do divination. At night.
Wheee!
