11	Paradoxia epidemica in the art of Pieter Bruegel the Elder : an investigation into sixteenth-century parody Cornew, Clive 01 1900 (has links) Pieter Bruegel the Eider's paintings De verkeerde wereld, Het gevecht tussen Karnava/ en Vasten, Luilekker/and, Dulle Grief and Landschap, met Icarus' val are interpreted as sixteenth-century parodies using the paradoxia epidemica as a tropic means for interpreting the artist's wit, irony, parody and picaresque stance towards his source material and his milieu. Where applicable, other works relating to a particular argument are also discussed. As a result of this investigation, an original contribution has been made in the literature on both Bruegel and parody as a form of visual communication. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / M.A. (History of Art) Adynaton Bruegel, Pieter the Elder Carnival and Lent Dulle Griet Emblematics Encyclopedism Folly Irony Mannerism Paradoxia epidemica Parodia sacra Parody Perception Picaresque tradition Play Reformation Rhetoric Satire Saturnalia Saws Seven deadly sins Seven virtues Sixteenth century The fall of Icarus The fool The world upside-down Trope structures Utopia Wit Rederijkers Humanism 759.9492 Bruegel, Pieter, approximately 1525-1569 Humanism Parody in art Lent Bookplates Satire in art
