Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine how Pieter Bruegel de Oude uses sound in his work to secretly and effectively lead his own resistance to the foreign powers of Spain and Catholicism through the analysis of the soundscape of resistance in his religious paintings. Of the total of 45 paintings by this artist, 20 are religious paintings, of which 10 are allusive to the subject of resistance. First, in these paintings, he achieves the purpose of covert resistance through art by marginalizing the “sacred noise” by letting the secular sounds of everyday life bury the noise in it. He also effectively uses sacred noise and secular sounds of everyday life to mask or reinforce the subject of resistance by appropriately placing them in the “figure” or “ground.”
