About Headlong
Headlong is a novel by Michael Frayn, published in 1999. The plot centres on the discovery of a long-lost painting from Pieter Bruegel's series The Months. The story is essentially a farce, but contains references to a large amount of scholarship, most prominently the work of Erwin Panofsky, about the Bruegel's work. Following Panofsky, Frayn distinguishes between the iconology and iconography of the paintings and suggests that rather than simply being a series of pastoral images they symbolise a Flemish populace undergoing great suffering as a result of Spanish rule.
