Hand-Painted Fine Art Reproductions of Famous Paintings

The Fight Between Carnival and Lent is an oil on panel work painted by Pieter Bruegel in 1559. The idea for this painting came from a theme in theatre at the time. It depicts the contrast between two sides of contemporary life, as can be seen by the appearance of the inn on the left side - for enjoyment, and the church on the right side - for religious observance. The busy scene depicts well-behaved children near the church and a beer drinking scene near the inn. Other scenes show a well in the centre (the coming together of different parts of the community), a fish stall and two competing floats.

The painting currently resides in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
