"Dulle Griet" (also known as "Mad Meg"), painted circa 1562 by the Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, is a renowned Renaissance oil painting that exemplifies the artist's penchant for complex, allegorical scenes filled with moralistic and satirical elements. The painting, which is held in the collection of the Museum Mayer van den Bergh in Antwerp, Belgium, depicts a chaotic and nightmarish landscape that serves as a backdrop for the eponymous character, Dulle Griet.

The central figure, Dulle Griet, is a woman depicted in armor pillaging a hellish environment, leading a group of women in a frenzied charge as they loot and plunder. The scene is replete with grotesque imagery, demonic creatures, and a landscape that dissolves into a fiery abyss, reflecting Bruegel's fascination with the theme of folly and the absurdity of human vices. The painting's title character has been interpreted as a representation of uncontrolled female aggression and avarice, or as a figure defying the traditional roles of women in the 16th century.

Bruegel's masterful use of color, detail, and composition in "Dulle Griet" invites viewers to explore the myriad of activities and interactions among the figures, each contributing to the painting's overarching commentary on human behavior and societal norms. The work is often analyzed within the context of Netherlandish Proverbs and the "Triumph of Death," other works by Bruegel that similarly employ dense, allegorical imagery to critique human folly.

"Dulle Griet" stands as a significant example of Northern Renaissance art and continues to be a subject of scholarly interest for its complex iconography, narrative depth, and Bruegel's distinctive artistic style that combines keen observation with a moralistic vision. The painting's enduring appeal lies in its ability to engage viewers in an interpretive challenge, offering a glimpse into the cultural and social preoccupations of the 16th century while remaining relevant to contemporary audiences through its timeless themes.
