The Straw Mannequin by Francisco de Goya
What are the women doing in this painting? Four young women are standing in a circle. They have a white bed sheet stretched between them, while they throw a doll made of straw into the air – again and again. They are in a park and seem to have a lot of fun with this game. In Spain it was one of the most popular games at this time.
For most of his life, Francisco de Goya worked for the King of Spain. He painted many pictures of the royal family.
The Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel the Elder
This painting shows a gigantic construction project of the ancient world. On a big area many hard-working people are building a huge tower together. This tower has never really existed. According to a story from the Bible, the tower was never finished, as suddenly people were no longer able to talk to each other because they started speaking different languages.
