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 & Musicology / M.A. (History of Art)
