Albrecht Dürer's Monument to the Vanquished Peasants, 1525

"
"The Monument comprises a collection of ready-made objects taken from the everyday life of peasants: farm animals, various agricultural products and peasants' work instruments.  At the apex of the composition, an "inflicted peasant" sits atop a chicken cage" impaled by an enormous sword in his back."
