Oh, there are so many HGs from Bruegel. I found them in the fantasy
painting, in the festival painting and in the dance/wedding paintings. I think
he did
the blind leading the blind painting where the lead blind man, the one
already on the ground, has an HG.
Also, how many people are making the HG with the removable handles and
cranks. I forget the painter but there is the painting with the musicians
fighting (that never really happens right) and the HG player is using the pull
off
crank handle as a weapon. Thanks Curtis for pointing that out to me.
The problem being that most early paintings were commissioned or
religious or commissioned religious. There are very few painting based on the
pastoral life or the common man. I have not look to closely at illuminated
manuscripts but that may be a good source, who knows. I have looked through
the
pictures I have and have not come across any HGs in early art (at least the
art I
have).
