PETER SCHULTZ: Dovre Center Faculty Lecture

"Bruegel, Bakhtin, and the Comedies of Resistance: Art and Politics in 16th Century Netherlands”
Thursday, October 29, 2009  •  7 p.m.
Concordia College, Birkeland Alumni Lounge

Dr. Peter Schultz '94, Chair and Assistant Professor of Art, Concordia College, will examine the relationship between the Reformation and the later comic paintings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525–1569). The paintings were completed immediately before “The Dutch Revolt,” the first Protestant, Republican, mercantile revolution in Western history. Schultz explores the work of Mikhail Bakhtin and argues that Bruegel's paintings can be usefully understood as a direct –and sometimes bold– challenge to Roman Catholic dogma and to Spanish imperial policy in the Netherlands.

This lecture is presented by the Dovre Center for Faith and Learning at Concordia College, the mission of which is to encourage and sustain the interaction of faith and learning on the Concordia campus.
