Headlong (ISBN 0-8050-6285-8) 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 a large amount of scholarship about the painter.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 Dutch populace undergoing great suffering as a result of Spanish rule.

  • Das verschollene Bild (Originaltitel: Headlong) ist ein Roman des britischen Autors Michael Frayn aus dem Jahr 1999. Er macht sich den Tatbestand, dass eines der Jahreszeitenbilder von Pieter Bruegel dem Älteren vor Jahren sehr wahrscheinlich verlorenging, zunutze, um eine fiktive Geschichte zu erzählen, die von der Entdeckung dieses Gemäldes ausgeht, das Ränkespiel zwischen Finder und Besitzer zu einem satirisch gefärbten kulturellen „Clash“ zwischen Stadt und Land, Intellekt und Bauernschläue ausweitet, und die den Leser zwischendurch auch zu (kunst)historischen Exkursen einlädt.
