About The Fight Between Carnival And Lent
"The Fight Between Carnival And Lent" is 1559 painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder and is a part of his The World Turned Upside Down series. The Fight between Carnival and Lent depicts a common festival held in the Southern Netherlands. On the left side of the painting there is an inn, and in the right side of the painting there is a church. The juxtaposition is meant to illustrate the two sides of human nature: pleasure and religious chastity, and the contrast between the two. The painting represents a common theme in 16th century Europe, the battle between Carnival and Lent, and with its humor and witticism, is a satirical critique on the conflicts of the Reformation.
