Wine and Music, Sexuality and Burlesque Tradition in the Paintings of Utrecht Caravaggisti

This lecture focuses on the highly humorous and erotic part that we observe in the paintings by Utrecht Caravaggisti after their return back home, seeking to highlight its processes of creation by putting them in an European perspective. We will first insist on the parodic interpretation that they give of compositions by their Italian, French or Flemish colleagues, in particular Manfredi and Valentin de Boulogne. We will then focus on the relationship of laughter to gluttony and sexuality in some major compositions that have raised many questions and debates. Finally, we will examine the art of  'double entendre’ that these painters develop using a literary and figurative language that is at the crossroads of Italian and north European traditions.
