OK, here is another painting by Pieter Breughel the Elder, painted in 1562. Apparently he worked on doing Mordor also.

Or is that public land under bureaucratic administration?

I think that trip to the museum may have been too much for me.

See that dog in the bottom, center? That looks a bit like my Whippet!

Nasty scene, at first I thought it might have been a vision based on the Thirty Year's War, but that didn't start till 1618. Of course the Black Death was about 200 years earlier, but it apparently gave folks a rather ghoulish outlook for some considerable time afterwards.

With those skeletal figures, it looks like he's painted "Army of Darkness" a few centuries ahead of time
