Bruegel's Landscape with the fall of Icarus
Bruegel's Landscape with the fall of Icarus
Order Description
Look at the cartridge and analyze how it relates to the rest of the painting both formally and thematically. What visual means does bruegel use to highlight it's
importance and draw connections between it and other parts of the painting? Do those formal connections have conceptual implications? That is, do they draw our
attention to thematic connections that deepen or sharpen the meaning of the work? You must support yyour argument with specific examples from the painting. Be sure to
indicate however succintly the relevance of your example or citation to your thesis. Remember your audience is someone who has seen the painting but perhaps hasn't
thought deeply about it. 2 pages 11-point times New Roman with one inch margins on all sides . When quoting from the painting youh will not include parenthetical
citations but you will need to describe what you see carefully. The reader should be able to imagine your references without seeing the painting. For example "the
cartridge located in the lower right is perched on a dead branch above a man fishing ". You can use ovids poem or other paintings or icarus from that time period or by
bruegel, as a point of contrast, but the paper should focus on bruegel's landscape with the fall of icarus .
