Conversation Pieces - The World of Bruegel

This book presents a three-way conversation about Bruegel's "Battle Between Carnival and Lent" through realia of his time, in which art history (Katrien Lichtert), historical design (Alexandra van Dongen and Lucinda Timmermans) and literature (Abdelkader Benali) enter into a dialogue. In A Conversation Piece, the authors reveal the humour, symbolism, imagery and hidden stories behind the everyday objects in the painting.
