Capaz de vencer al diablo. La sátira de las mujeres en «Dulle Griet» de Pieter Bruegel el Viejo

This study offers an analysis of the satirize and ridicule of women through Flemish proverbs, which served as a source for the creation of Dulle Griet by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, dated 1561. The panel painting, which has been the subject of numerous interpretations, is dominated by the figure of Griet or Margaret, who along with her entourage, embodies anger, rage or ill temper. In this context, and in relation to the artwork, we have explored the popular traditions and customs of Flemish literature, which are also represented in theatrical dramas staged during the Landjuwelen festivals, organized by the Rederijkerskamers (Chambers of Rhetoric).
