 This panoramic biblical scene is one of the most perfect depictions of humanity's mocking cruelty, insensitivity, and capacity for love. The scene set in a incredibly beautiful and haunting landscape is filled with as much laughter as it is terror. The clouds give the impression that God is just over the horizon and is not at all pleased with humanity. The notion that life goes on even in the face of brutality and terror makes this scene all the more compelling. Breughel's comtemporaries bowed down to him and freely admitted that he was the master of them all when it came to inventiveness and richness of technique.
