The idea of the 'grotesque' derives from the murals decorating the walls 'Domus Aurea', an excavated ruin of the Roman Empire. These grotesque murals were created by a combination of humans with plants, animals or various instruments and vessels. Metamorphosed entities formed the basic type of grotesque expression which was developed by Italian painters in the Renaissance periods. The images and concept of grotesqueness created many creatures and designs, and these formed marginal ornaments and motifs in Western Romanesque art. Wolfgang Kayser analyzed the main concepts of this idea of the 'grotesque' within the trends of Western culture. According to his theory, the idea of the 'grotesque' is fundamentally opposed to reason and scientific ideas and theories. It is the world for alienated beings with in the normal world. Alienated beings are closely related to absurdity and madness (which consist of humour and satire) to the effect that they are against the reason and common sense of society, meaning that they reflect humans and societies, viewing from the reverse side of the real world. In every age, many artists and authors have applied this concept to their works. In literature, Franz Kafka or Samuel Beckett created uniquely grotesque worlds where human beings are alienated and tossed by destiny. In painting, Hieronymus Bosch represented the world as being filled with grotesque creatures, reflecting Bosch's cynical view of the world. The image of the'grotesque' is the expression of deformed and metamorphosed beings in both art and literature. It is accompanied by cruelty, sardonic humour, and merciless satire or madness. Bruegel and Bosch's art, Kafka, Bataille, and Beckett's literature include the essence. Their worldview fundamentally consists of unique and sophisticated grotesque ideas. The resulting works were formed from grotesque images and worldview.
