The Blind Leading the Blind
Pieter Brueghel the Elder · 1568
Why it's great
Six blind men stumble along a path, and the first has already fallen into a ditch while the others follow. Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted it in 1568, and it is based on a Bible verse, and the details of their faces are painstaking.
