"Magpie on the Gallows" is a 1568 painting by Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. As one of Bruegel's later works, it is renowned for its complex symbolism and detailed landscape. The painting depicts a panoramic view of a countryside with a prominent gallows in the center, upon which a magpie is perched. The gallows scene is surrounded by various figures engaging in everyday activities, seemingly oblivious to the ominous structure.

The painting is often interpreted as a commentary on justice and folly. The magpie, traditionally associated with gossip and chatter, may symbolize idle talk or the spread of information, while the gallows represents the consequences of such actions. The juxtaposition of the gallows with the bucolic life scenes has been the subject of much scholarly debate, with interpretations ranging from a meditation on mortality to a critique of the social order.

Measuring 45.9 cm × 50.8 cm, "Magpie on the Gallows" is housed in the Hessisches Landesmuseum in Darmstadt, Germany. The work is executed in oil on wood panel and is notable for its vivid color palette and the intricate depiction of the figures and landscape. Bruegel's masterful handling of the composition and his ability to weave moral narratives into his landscapes make this painting a significant example of Northern Renaissance art.

The painting's legacy is reflected in its influence on later artists and its continued relevance in discussions of Northern Renaissance symbolism. "Magpie on the Gallows" remains an important work for scholars interested in the social and political dimensions of 16th-century Flemish art, as well as for those fascinated by Bruegel's unique artistic vision.
