Big Fish Eat Little Fish

Pieter Bruegel (I) (in circa 1557 - 1650)

Ask anything

Sarah PB Savant asked

I am writing a book and would like to feature the image here in my book. Previously, I had a version of it from online but attributed to Peter van der Heyden (fl 1551-1572). I think that one was open access (though the museum was cited and the image was pretty much exactly the same - but printed with opposite orientation - big fish facing to the left). Can you please guide me? Thank you very much! All best Sarah Savant
