Bruegel

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani returns above all to The Wedding Feast and to Bruegel's peasant weddings, which he associates with music. He sees in them a Flemish country celebration where music serves entertainment and festivity1. He hears in them a gaiety close to the gigue23 and goes so far as to present Bach's first Brandenburg Concerto as a kind of sound transcription of the painting4. The peasant scene of Beethoven's Pastoral also reminds him of a Bruegel wedding. In a session devoted to Clouscard, he sees in these painted weddings the expression of the people's desire for happiness5. He cites other works by Bruegel in connection with other questions. The Tower of Babel, in his view, shows both the tower's splendour and its failure. He describes Landscape with the Fall of Icarus as a harvest scene in which all that can be seen of Icarus is two small legs on the sea. Finally, he draws a comparison between Bruegel and Bosch and finds in his work the motif of the fragmented body.
