Cracked Finds Butts in Bruegel, Easter Eggs Elsewhere in Art

God bless the juvenile minds over at Cracked for going on a rather tawdry “Easter Egg hunt” in the European classics. They find a gigantic brain in Michaelangelo’s “Sistine Chapel” fresco (1475-83), porn in the same artist’s “Last Judgement” (1534-1541), and, yes, bared backsides in Bruegel the Elder’s “Netherlandish Proverbs” (1559, left). It’s a touch “The Da Vinci Code”, but a whole lot more “Private Parts”.

Go on an egg hunt of your own through the works of Van Gogh, Goya, and three other artists in our forthcoming guidebook “Art + Travel Europe: Step into the Lives of Five Famous Painters”. Just think of what Caravaggio has hidden in his backgrounds.
