If you've ever visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, you've likely seen Pieter Bruegel the Elder's The Harvesters, where it's been displayed since 1919. Part of a commissioned series of six paintings, the scene in this particular painting portrays the balmy late summer of harvest time.
19. The Tower of Babel

The Tower of Babel was a frequent subject of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, who painted as many as three notable works from 1552 to 1563 depicting its construction. While the first of the series is now lost, the two remaining ones can be seen at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam.
