Abstract

The representation of music (as a sound element) in the plane of painting is complicated, if not impossible. When this happens, painter’s intention is include musical scenes pretend to idealize the sound of the scene or give some special meaning to said musical scene. These musical snapshots, by themselves, can give the general set of the pictorial work a characteristic that is alien to it, even contrary; this is why in the proposed examples of El Bosco and Brueghel we observe how the musical scenes allow us to contradict the general sense of the panels, even contradicting the meaning a priori that the viewer could elucidate.
