Pieter Bruegel the Elder as a narrator, inclined to involve all parts of the canvas surface to the events and to balance between human and animal actions which are expanded in different surfaces of the canvas. The art of Bruegel is the visual equivalent of lower and superior literature; he lived during the chaos and drastic socio-political transformation, when Protestant Reformation was in a complete destabilization and many of the old traditions and customs are endangered. Joining of catholic to fasting ceremony was the kind of the religious ceremonies which is criticized by Protestant Reformists severely and the soul of carnival is being repressed by the individuals of two parties. It was the issue which Bruegel translated it in the form of his special visual language and depicted smut criticism from the movement confliction of religious reformation. Ridiculous and funny forms, imitation and border crossing play important role in understanding of the Bruegel's works. In this research the work of War between Carnival and fasters with emphasis on formalistic, aesthetic and sociological critique and also with examination of symbols and the meaning of work is investigated by analytical and descriptive approaches and documents and written sources are used in visual paintings. The visual effects of joke language and carnival games are inherent features of Bruegel's works.
