This is one of the disturbing Painting I have seen . It's called "Market in Piazza del Municipio". It's about the punishment of several ladies in public because they sold rotten eggs from their market stall . The punishment is to be pelted with a basket full of the same eggs by a group of men. This actually happened in 1790 and it shows a form of cruelty and an uncaring society as they relish the spectacle watch on by smiling groups of men and women. What do you think?
