Abstract
This article discusses two superficially opposed visual traditions showing drinking and drunkenness in sixteenth and seventeenth century visual art. Rather than contrasting an ideal southern European Catholic mode with a satirical northern and Protestant alternative, it seeks a more sustainable interpretation, in which positive and negative meanings are seen as mutually supportive: as necessary terms within a wider and fundamentally undecided cultural discourse.
