      Collection of proverbs using no text
      No Expiration
      London Adventurer's Guild
      The way to pass on proverbs and old sayings is still writing. Apparently there is a painting which expresses that just in a picture. It seems that it's a painting with a lot of impact, its causing quite a stir in taverns in Amsterdam. Why don't you check it out from the barkeep?

                      Amsterdam Tavern 1. Talk to Barkeep (requires Dutch)
                      Amsterdam Tavern 2. Talk to Johanna
                      Amsterdam Tavern 3. Talk to Seafarer ( Next to the door)
                      Amsterdam Archives 4. Talk to Scholar
                      Amsterdam Church 5. Church (requires Search)



                      1. The barkeep's perspective

                      Oh yes, I was just talking about that painting. That's the one where a woman is putting an overcoat on her husband. The coat also represents the invisible reality, so the woman is actually trying to deceive her husband. Huh? You say that's not true, Johanna?

                      2. Johanna's persective

                      I think it's a painting of a man trying to fill a hole. Just like how they say it's too late to fill in the hole after a calf drowns. That applies to you too, you know. You can't prepare for something after it's already happened. That's why when you go out to sea, you need to be ready for anything. Hey! Seafarer! Stop spilling your drink!

                      3. The sailor's perspective

                      Oh man, my drink... This is just like that painting of the man who spilt his porridge. Once spilt, neither porridge nor liquor can be restored... That's something no scholar, no matter how smart, can fix.

                      4. Details of the painting

                      This is a painting of many different sayings and proverbs... This is definitely one of Bruegel's oil paintings. And just like everything the people at the bad said, there are over 90 different other sayings that fit into this single piece. I believe the painting was donated to the city's church. Why not go take a look at it?

                      5. Each person sees things differently

                      Apparently there are over 90 different sayings and proverbs expressed in a single painting. There aren't many paintings out there that can be so different to so many people. The painting is being kept in the church and search the right wall.

                          A work by Pieter Brueghel the Elder. He drew over 90 proverbs that were told in the Netherlands. For example, there is a man that has spilled his porridge at the bottom right. This proverb means, "Once something is done it cannot be undone."
