At the lower left a stout man in blue sits astride a barrel with a roast on a spit under his arm like a lance; at the lower right a thin figure in a pale habit on a red cart laden with bread thrusts out a long flat peel bearing two fish. Masked revellers, beggars on crutches, women at a well and children fill the ground between.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kunsthistorisches Museum describes this as an encyclopaedia of Netherlandish customs around Carnival and Lent, staged as an allegorical jousting tournament of the kind actually held in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Carnival rides a barrel with a roast on a spit as his weapon, opposed by the skinny figure of Lent with a baker's shovel and two fishes. Showing everything happening in one place at one time is Bruegel's own invention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: painting on oak panel, 1559; Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525–1569) was a Netherlandish painter and printmaker. He trained in Antwerp, likely under Pieter Coecke van Aelst, and travelled to Italy before settling first in Antwerp and later Brussels, working for merchant and court patrons. His crowded panoramas of peasant life, proverbs and biblical scenes set in contemporary Flemish landscape combine close observation of ordinary people with wit and, at times, dark allegory. His paintings are held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, the Museo del Prado and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
