"Dulle Griet, also known as Mad Meg, Raiding Hell" is a notable oil painting by Flemish artist David Ryckaert the Younger, a prominent figure in the Baroque period known for his genre scenes and allegorical works. The painting is an interpretation of the Flemish folklore figure Dulle Griet, a woman who leads an army of women in a charge through Hell, showcasing a blend of the fantastical and the moralistic themes common in Northern Renaissance art. Ryckaert's depiction is believed to draw inspiration from an earlier work by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, who also portrayed the character of Dulle Griet in a similarly named painting.

In Ryckaert's rendition, the central figure of Mad Meg is depicted as a fierce woman, clad in armor, leading a chaotic onslaught into the depths of the underworld. The painting is rich with allegorical content, illustrating the inversion of societal norms and the struggle between good and evil. It is characterized by its vivid imagery, intricate details, and the dynamic movement of its numerous figures, all of which are hallmarks of Ryckaert's artistic style.

The work is significant for its exploration of female agency within the context of 17th-century art and its reflection of the cultural and social attitudes of the time. "Dulle Griet, Raiding Hell" is not only an important piece in Ryckaert's oeuvre but also serves as a valuable historical document, providing insight into the folklore and iconography of the period.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is not widely referenced in art historical literature, and its current location or ownership status is not well-documented. Due to the lack of extensive information regarding the provenance, critical reception, and interpretive analysis of "Dulle Griet, Raiding Hell" by David Ryckaert the Younger, the painting remains a lesser-known work when compared to the oeuvre of his contemporaries. However, it remains a fascinating example of the intersection of folklore and art during the Baroque era in Flanders.
