| Food is one of the elements we encounter throughout our daily lives. This important element has often been overlooked in the discussion of thinkers and philosophers due to its roots in instincts, material and physical needs. This article intends to show the semantic importance of food by examining food in painting. What is meant by the importance of food meaning in painting is whether these objects only play a role in filling the background of the image or not? are they pointless and meaningless? How can they be explored to make more sense? In this study, while paying attention to the semantic importance of food and feed in the works of painters and its relationship with the social class of the people in the picture, the paintings named the bean-eater by Annibale Carracci and tomato-eaters by Vincent van Gogh have been studied. These two works are similar in the elements of image, content or subject (eating), and the social class of the people in the painting (peasant or inferior class of society). The theoretical method of research is the method of archeology of Ervin Panofsky, that is, the description, interpretation and analysis the elements of works (here food). |
