Peter Brueghel's Children's Games

I learned about this painting yesterday at an MIT Summer Summit for the GAMBIT department. It was awesome (obvs) but when I learned about this painting, I wanted to make sure I noted it for future replica purchase.

The painting shows dozens of different games being played by children in the 1500's. If you click through to this particular site, the owner, Bruce Van Patter, has provided a sharp - and appropriate - criticism of game culture of today.
