One view attaches to these images a primary moralizing message, while the other places them within the cultural context of the contemporary art of laughter. In my thesis I will argue that the peasant revel scenes are primarily comic in nature, without diminishing the moralizing message. My argument relies on two main theories developed by Henri Bergson and Mikhail Bakhtin, as well as on the similarity between the visual elements employed by Pieter Bruegel and the comic practices and techniques employed in the theatrical art of commedia dell’arte. I discuss the role of the peasant as a comic type and the use of grotesque realism in the visual representation of the body and the lower material bodily stratum as indicators that artists chose their visual vocabulary with a comic intent. iii Acknowledgements I am very grateful for the encouragement and support of the Art History faculty and staff throughout my studies at the University of Cincinnati. I would like to thank Professor Diane Mankin for her support and help in the process of developing my ideas for this thesis. I also thank Professor Kimberly Paice and Professor Teresa Pac for serving on my thesis committee. v Table of Contents List of Illustrations vii Introduction 1 Chapter 1 12 The Scholarly Debate on the Meaning and Interpretation of Sixteenth- Century Flemish Paintings and Prints of Peasant Scenes Chapter 2 19 A Theoretical Approach to the Comic in the Visual Arts in Relationship to the Peasant Scenes of Pieter Bruegel the Elder Chapter 3 38 Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the Culture of Laughter in Sixteenth-Century Flanders, and Comic Practices in Commedia Dell’Arte Chapter 4 51 Comic Strategies in the Peasant Revel Paintings and Prints of Pieter Bruegel the Elder Conclusion 69 Bibliography 73 Illustrations 78 vi List of Illustrations Fig. 1.

Frans Huys, after Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Details of Ice Skating before the Gate of St. George, c. 1558, engraving, 23.1 x 29.3 cm x Introduction The Dutch and Flemish peasant revel scenes of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are commonly considered a specific Northern European artistic phenomenon, a tradition started by Peter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525-1569) that carries an intrinsic moral message warning against contemptible behavior. Nonetheless, their interpretation, meaning, social function, and reception have triggered an intense debate in Northern art scholarship, with art historians arguing mainly in two opposing directions. One view attaches to these images a moralizing content and message, considering a priori that artists expressed the contemporary elite’s general negative attitude towards the unrestrained festive behavior of the lower classes.1 The other view places these images within a larger cultural context that allows for their interpretation as manifestations of the contemporary art of laughter.2 The scholarly debate triggered in the early 1970s by the articles of Svetlana Alpers and Hessel Miedema focuses on the interpretation of Pieter Bruegel’s peasant scenes, bestowing on them two apparently contradictory meanings, one comic, the other moralizing.

  • Metonymy and Its Manifestation in Visual Artworks: Case Study of Late Paintings by Bruegel the Elder
    Metonymy and its manifestation in visual artworks: Case study of late paintings by Bruegel the Elder GEORGIJ YU. SOMOV Postprint* v1.0 *Somov, G. (2009). Metonymy and its manifestation in visual artworks: Case study of late paintings by Bruegel the Elder. Semiotica, 2009(174), pp. 309-366. Retrieved 6 Oct. 2017, from doi:10.1515/semi.2009.037 Abstract Being the object of semiotic studies, metonymy demands investigation in the non-verbal domain, i.e., visual sign systems. When analyzing the metony- mies of visual artworks, they prove to have di¤erent sources: verbal and visual sources refer to codes, languages, contexts, and sign forms of a work (denotations, connotations, and organizing sign structures). Di¤erent particular metonymies promote incarnation of a general metonymy of work. In the work structure (or coding), particular metonymies are joined and organized on the basis of this general metonymy. The metonymies in- terrelated in a complex way on the basis of general metonymy are revealed in the course of semiotic analysis of the paintings by Bruegel the Elder. The sign structures of his works underlie the philosophic generalizations of the great painter and philosopher. Keywords: semiotics; metonymy; connotation; organizing form; struc- tures; sign systems; metaphor; Bruegel the Elder. 1. Metonymy as the object of semiotic studies Metonymy is one of the central sign structures of human communication. According to semiotic ideas, the metonymy is formed transversely to met- aphor. The metaphor relates objects of the same level of commonality, while metonymy links a concrete object to a class of objects or interpre- tants (Eco 1976; Chandler 1994).

  • Bruegel's Via Crucis
    BRUEGEL’S VIA CRUCIS: (VISUAL) EXPERIENCE AND THE PROBLEM OF INTERPRETATION Geoff Lehman Conference: What is Liberal Education For? St. John’s College, Santa Fe, New Mexico October 18, 2014 Introduction: Visual Pedagogy This talk will focus on the close reading of a painting, Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s Via Crucis, or, Carrying of the Cross (figure 1), with the idea of suggesting how such sustained engagement with a single work of art over the course of one or several class sessions in a seminar, or even as the basis for an entire course, poses similar challenges and has a similar pedagogical value as the close reading of texts. I will also briefly indicate the rich dialogue between Bruegel’s picture and a number of major Renaissance texts. My simple mention of these texts can in no way do justice to them, but I merely hope to suggest ways that a work of visual art can function meaningfully as part of an interdisciplinary course built around close reading and discussion of texts. In addition, as an image that is self-reflexive in a characteristically Renaissance fashion, the picture explicitly directs the viewer towards the problem of interpretation and suggests the framework within which that interpretive process operates. In other words, I would like to argue that the picture itself teaches. And I will mainly do this (due to lack of time) simply by going through some of the problems of interpretation to which the picture calls our attention. This interpretative problem, as Bruegel’s Via Crucis presents it, is 2 effectively that of finding a middle way between absolute truth and complete absence of determinate meaning; it is an understanding of the interpretive act as directed by, and actively responsive to, its object, in a way that for that very reason is also open and multivalent in its mode of address.

  • Bruegel's Later Peasant Paintings Take Heart…
    Chapter Three: “Feast your eyes, Feast your mind”: Bruegel’s later Peasant Paintings Take heart…do your best, that we may reach our target: that they (Italians) may no longer say in their speech that Flemish painters can make no figures. -Karel van Mander, Den Grondt der Edel Vry Schilder-const215 [I]n this mortal life, wandering from God, if we wish to return to our native country where we can be blessed we should use this world and not enjoy it, so that the “invisible things” of God “being understood by the things that are made” may be seen, that is, that by means of corporal and temporal things we may comprehend the eternal and spiritual. -St. Augustine, De Doctrina Christiana I. In the following, I examine three paintings by Bruegel made in the last years of his life,1568-1569, all of which are now in Vienna: Peasant Wedding Banquet, Peasant Dance, and Peasant and Nest Robber. Comparable to the way in which members of the Pléiade program or rederijkers, such as Jan van der Noot and Lucas de Heere, advocated the cultivation of the vernacular language by incorporating the style and form of Latin, French or Italian literature, as well as translating texts from classical Antiquity, I show how Bruegel’s monumental paintings of peasants reveal a similar agenda for what I have termed a “visual vernacular.” Rather than this mode of painting being dependent on the resolute imitation of nature, rejecting any idealization of figures, I will show how Bruegel advocates for the incorporation of classicist, Italianate visual concepts and pictorial elements into detailed images of local custom.

He is sometimes referred to as "Peasant Bruegel" to distinguish him from other members of the Brueghel dynasty, but is also the one generally meant when the context does not make clear which "Bruegel" is being referred to. From 1559 he dropped the 'h' from his name and started signing his paintings as Bruegel. Life There are records that he was born in Breda, Netherlands, but it is uncertain whether the Dutch town of Breda or the Belgian town of Bree, called Breda in Latin, is meant. He was an apprentice of Pieter Coecke van Aelst, whose daughter Mayken he later married. He spent some time in France and Italy, and then went to Antwerp, where in 1551 he was accepted as a master in the painter's guild. He traveled to Italy soon after, and then returned to Antwerp before settling in Brussels permanently 10 years later. He received the nickname 'Peasant Bruegel' or 'Bruegel the Peasant' for his alleged practice of dressing up like a peasant in order to mingle at weddings and other celebrations, thereby gaining inspiration and authentic details for his genre paintings.

  • Peter Bruegel the Elder
    PETER BRUEGEL THE ELDER Pieter Bruegel the Elder 1525–1530) was the most significant artist of Dutch and Flemish Renaiss- ance painting, a painter and printmaker, known for his landscapes and peasant scenes; he was a pioneer in making both types of subject the focus in large paintings. He was a formative influence on Dutch Golden Age painting and later painting in general in his innovative choices of subject matter, as one of the first generation of artists to grow up when religious subjects had ceased to be the natural subject matter of painting. He also painted no portraits, the other mainstay of Netherlandish art. After his training and travels to Italy, he returned in 1555 to settle in Antwerp, where he worked mainly as a prolific designer of prints for the leading publisher of the day. Only towards the end of the decade did he switch to make painting his main medium, and all his famous paintings come from the following period of little more than a decade before his early death, when he was probably in his early forties, and at the height of his powers. As well as looking forwards, his art reinvigorates medieval subjects such as marginal drolleries of ordinary life in illuminated manu- scripts, and the calendar scenes of agricultural labours set in land- scape backgrounds, and puts these on a much larger scale than before, and in the expensive medium of oil painting. He does the same with the fantastic and anarchic world developed in Renaissance prints and book illustrations. Pieter Bruegel specialized in genre paintings populated by peasants, often with a landscape element, though he also painted religious works.

ABSTRACT Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c.1526-69) is one of the most renowned sixteenth-century Netherlandish artists. Paradoxically, however, he is also one of the most mysterious and our dearth of known historical information about Bruegel has generated much debate about how his art relates to the religious and political conflicts raging in the Low Countries during the 1560s. Most previous scholarship has attempted to place Bruegel’s allegiances on one side or the other of a Catholic versus Protestant binary, and attempted to demonstrate that Bruegel’s art was conceived and understood as partisan propaganda. By taking a reception-focused approach, this thesis seeks to address this shortcoming in Bruegel scholarship. Chapter 1 is primarily concerned with the intended audience for Bruegel’s art, their beliefs and the ways in which they displayed and interpreted art.
