Kunst kann unterschiedliche Erscheinungsformen annehmen. Sie kann durch Malerei ebenso ausgedrückt werden wie durch Poesie. Die Arbeit setzt sich zum Ziel, diese beiden Formen der Kunst miteinander zu verknüpfen. Grundlage dafür sind Pieter Bruegels Kunstwerk 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus' sowie zwei Gedichte der britischen Lyriker W. H. Auden ('Musée des Beaux Arts') und Daniel Abse ('Bruegel in Naples'). Neben der Erarbeitung verbindender Aspekte zwischen den Gedichten und dem Gemälde werden beide Gedichte zudem komparatistisch analysiert.
