About the painting
Dulle Griet (anglicized as Dull Gret), also known as Mad Meg, is a figure of Flemish folklore who is best known as the subject of a 1563 oil-on-panel by Flemish renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The painting depicts a virago, Dulle Griet, who leads an army of women to pillage Hell, and is currently held and exhibited at the Museum Mayer van den Bergh, in Antwerp. Dulle Griet is also the subject of at least two more paintings by other artists: a 1640s painting by Flemish painter David Teniers the Younger and a 1650s painting by David Ryckaert III.
