Conflitos de dois mundos: uma análise comparativa entre a pintura A Queda dos Anjos Rebeldes, de Pieter Bruegel (1562) com a obra Demian, de Hermann Hesse

Abstract

Literature and painting can be considered two forms of expression that can interact with each other. Even though each has its own particularities, they can maintain a relationship that allows the investigation of themes and symbols that end up coinciding. This present work analyzes the conflict between the sacred and the profane in the works The Fall of the Rebel Angels (1562), by Pieter Bruegel, and Demian (1919), by Hermann Hesse. In this case, the comparative analysis of these works reveals how the conflict between the sacred and the profane, which is represented in such a way that the two worlds can offer an understanding of the spiritual and existential questions that permeate the human condition. The objective of the work is to analyze the coincidences found between Bruegel's visual expression and Hesse's coming-of-age novel, with the aim of comparing the relationship between the sacred and the profane in the works. To analyze the points of contact, the study used theoretical input from Wilma Maas (2000), Mircea Eliade (1992), Gombrich (1995), Carvalhal (2006), Nitrini (2000), Soethe (2009), Wellek (1997), Koerner (2016), Muhlberger (1993), as well as other authors with contributions in the areas of study of this research. Thus, the comparison between literature and painting, as demonstrated by the authors' studies, reveals the depth of the interactions between these two art forms
