The Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel Tie
The Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 1563, is the larger version of two painted in oil and tempera on wood panel. The painting depicts the story of the Biblical Tower of Tower, built in the first generation after the Flood of Noah, allegedly by King Nimrod. Bruegel’s mastery of perspective drawing and lifetime of study from landscape here conveys the gargantuan scale of the Biblical structure, dwarfing the surrounding city and ships in the harbor and rising through the clouds as a circular, spiraling ziggurat.
Pieter Bruegel (Brueghel) the Elder (c. 1525 - 1569) was a Dutch/Flemish painter and printmaker of the Northern Renaissance. Among the first artists to incorporate subject matter from landscape and the life of common people, Bruegel all but invented the art of Dutch genre painting. Bruegel painted a number of religious works but is best known for his lively, allegorical paintings of peasants and witty commentary and on life, sin and virtue. His innovative compositions and carefully observed, realistic details influenced many generations of artists, from Rembrandt through the Realists of the modern era.

I bought this tie for a cosplay of Haruhi Fujioka for Halloween and anime conventions. It feels very nice and silky. It's my first tie ever, and I'm a pretty big fan since I always wanted a tie. It was longer than I expected it to be (quite a plus), but the purple stripe was also thinner than I expected it to be (a slight bit of a downer, but I don't mind too much). I had never used Zazzle before, but I am very impressed with the shipping time. I was looking for places to get a tie like this so last minute since the ties like this on Amazon were incompatible with Prime. Thus, I ended up here. I paid for express shipping, expected delivery October 30-31, and it arrived in the morning on the 30th. Very impressed. I might just use Zazzle again. The print job was okay. The colors were perfect, but as you can see in the pictures, the stripe was a little off-center, and there was a kink in the stripe around where it transitions from the wide end to the thin end. It should work perfectly for my cosplay, but it was a little too carelessly print to be a very professional tie.

The Pageant Tie is just what I wanted and everyone at church wants one. I have worn it several days now and each day more people come to me to see it and say how great it is. The printing is just as it should be. Each photo is clear and the color is great.

It is a well made tie. My only issue is that it's a little shorter than I usually get, but it's still long enough. The design and colors of the hibiscus flowers was amazing. The right combination of pop and fading into the background. The colors stand out, but aren't overpowering.
