In "The Battle Between Carnival and Lent," Pieter Bruegel did not use the symbol of the crucifix, which is often associated with religious themes and the solemnity of Lent. Instead, he focused on the contrasting figures of Carnival, representing indulgence and celebration, and Lent, symbolizing restraint and piety. The absence of overtly religious symbols like the crucifix highlights the tension between secular and sacred themes present in the everyday lives of the people depicted.
