Bruegel the Elder, Fight between Carnival and Lent, detail 1

Vienna

Pieter Bruegel the Elder (ca 1525-1569), The Fight between Carnival and Lent, 1559, detail 1.
Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna

Carnival is personified by a potbellied man riding a beer barrel. He is wearing a huge meat pie as a head-dress and is brandishing a lance, in fact a long roasting spit, with a pig’s head, a chicken, sausages and some small game impaled.
