"Figures of Speech" addresses a key topic in Renaissance studies:
the importance and pervasiveness of proverbs. For sixteenth-century
Netherlanders, proverbs revealed the wisdom of the Ancients as well
as the linguistic richness found in their own native language; for
Pieter Bruegel, Hieronymus Bosch, and other Renaissance painters,
proverbs were a frequent and appealing subject. In this book,
Walter S. Gibson provides a comprehensive and engaging survey of
these visual representations, capturing for twenty-first-century
readers the moral sensibilities of a time and culture when such
adages (and the images conveying their meaning) were invaluable
guides to life.
