"The Parable of the Blind Leading the Blind" is a renowned painting by the Flemish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Completed in 1568, this oil on canvas masterpiece is also known simply as "The Blind Leading the Blind" and is housed in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy. The painting is a visual interpretation of the biblical parable from the Gospel of Matthew (15:14), in which Jesus Christ warns of the consequences when "the blind lead the blind," both shall fall into a ditch.

Bruegel's work is celebrated for its intricate detail, realistic portrayal of peasant life, and its complex allegorical themes. The painting depicts a procession of blind men, each following the other, with the lead figure falling into a ditch, thereby fulfilling the prophecy of the parable. The figures are rendered with a sense of movement and palpable tension, as viewers are drawn into the inevitable outcome of the scene.

The composition is notable for its stark landscape and the diagonal line formed by the blind men, which guides the viewer's eye across the canvas. Bruegel's use of color, light, and shadow enhances the dramatic effect and contributes to the overall sense of foreboding. The painting is often interpreted as a commentary on the moral and spiritual blindness of humanity, and it reflects Bruegel's preoccupation with the follies and vices of mankind.

As one of Bruegel's most poignant and profound works, "The Parable of the Blind Leading the Blind" has been extensively analyzed by art historians and scholars. It is considered a seminal piece in the Northern Renaissance and continues to be a subject of admiration for its artistic merit and its thought-provoking content.
