The relationship between humor and figurative art has been explored frequently ever since Giuliano Briganti's parodic interpretation of Pellegrino Tibaldi's frescoes in the Poggi Palace of Bologna. In this essay, Jose Emilio Burucua shares the mechanisms and formulas invented by European artists from the first modernity in order to elicit laughter from those who gazed upon their work. "Las relaciones entre lo comico y el arte figurativa han sido examinadas con frecuencia desde que, en 1945, Giuliano Briganti interpretara en clave parodica los frescos de Pellegrino Tibaldi en el Palacio Poggi de Bolonia. En este ensayo Jose Emilio Burucua nos descubre cuales fueron los mecanismos y las formulas inventadas por los artistas europeos de la primera modernidad para provocar con sus imagenes la risa de los contempladores."
