'''Flemish Proverbs''' (Dutch: ''Nederlandse Spreekwoorden''), also known as ''The Blue Cloak'' or ''The Topsy Turvy World'', is a 1559 oil-on-oak-panel painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. This artwork is renowned for its depiction of a complex scene in which a large number of human figures illustrate literal interpretations of Flemish proverbs and idiomatic expressions of the time. Housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, the painting is one of Bruegel's most famous works and is considered a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art.

The painting's composition is bustling with activity, featuring over 100 proverbial phrases, some of which are still in use. Bruegel's skillful use of imagery serves as a moralizing commentary on the folly and vice of humanity. Each figure in the scene is engaged in an action that visualizes the proverb it represents, creating a dense tapestry of human behavior and social critique. The proverbs address a range of topics, from foolishness and greed to the inevitability of death.

Bruegel's ''Flemish Proverbs'' is a testament to the artist's keen observation of peasant life, his interest in the vernacular language, and his profound understanding of human nature. The painting's intricate detail and the challenge of identifying all the proverbs have made it a subject of interest for art historians and the general public alike. Its enduring appeal lies in its combination of humor, historical insight, and the opportunity it provides for viewers to engage with the work in a search for meaning among the visual puns and riddles.
