Meet Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a master of the Flamboyant School.

The Tower of Babel, a biblical masterpiece, was inspired by the story of King Nimrod's failed ambition.

Bruegel's painting shows King Nimrod discussing his project with courtiers while debilitated subjects crawl at his feet.

The Roman Empire's arrogance is symbolized by the Roman amphitheater in the background.

King Nimrod is dressed in Renaissance style, evoking King Philip II of Spain, who ruled the Netherlands at the time.
