Resumo
Este trabalho busca compreender as diferentes representações da loucura nos séculos XV-XVI
na Europa por meio de algumas pinturas de artistas do período, a saber: Hieronymus Bosch,
Matthias Grunewald e Pieter Bruegel. Embora o tema da loucura apareça na literatura desde o
século XII, e em representações artísticas em meados do século XIV, a loucura passa a aparecer
mais significativamente na iconografia a partir do século XV, identificado com os momentos
finais na Idade Média. Procuramos compreender algumas nuances dessas representações da
loucura, assim como a herança medieval adquirida, a qual perpassa as obras analisadas.
Analisamos também de que forma a loucura é representada nos primórdios do Renascimento,
dando origem a uma nova forma de compreendê-la nos séculos posteriores.
This paper seeks to understand the different forms of representations of madness in the centuries XV-XVI in Europe through some paintings by artists of the period, specifically: Hieronymus Bosch, Matthias Grunewald and Pieter Bruegel. Although the theme of madness appears in literature since the twelfth century, and in artistic representations in the mid-fourteenth century, madness begins to appear more significantly in iconography from the fifteenth century on, identified with the final moments in the Middle Ages. We seek to understand some nuances of these representations of madness, as well as the acquired medieval heritage, which permeates the analyzed works. We also analyze how madness is represented in the early Renaissance, giving rise to a new way of understanding it in later centuries.
