"The 'Little' Tower of Babel" is a renowned oil painting by Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, completed in 1563. This masterpiece is one of two paintings by Bruegel that depict the story of the Tower of Babel, which is mentioned in the Book of Genesis from the Bible. The narrative describes humanity's attempt to build a tower tall enough to reach heaven, which ultimately leads to the confusion of languages by God as a punishment for their hubris.

Bruegel's depiction of the Tower of Babel is notable for its intricate detail and its reflection of the colossal architectural projects that were common in 16th-century Europe, particularly the grandiose ambitions of the Habsburg rulers at the time. The painting is characterized by its meticulous portrayal of the tower's construction, with countless tiny figures laboring to build the massive structure. The tower itself is rendered in a style reminiscent of Roman architecture, with a clear influence from the Colosseum, and it dominates the landscape, conveying both the grandeur and the folly of the endeavor.

The 'Little' Tower of Babel, measuring 60 cm × 74.5 cm (23.6 in × 29.3 in), is smaller in size compared to Bruegel's other painting on the same subject, known as the "Great" Tower of Babel. It is housed in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The painting is celebrated for its vivid storytelling and serves as a powerful allegory for the limits of human ambition and the potential consequences of overreaching. Bruegel's work has been extensively analyzed for its themes, composition, and historical context, making it an important piece in the study of Northern Renaissance art.
