Peasant Wedding

is an oil on panel painting created in 1567 by Bruegel the Elder. The artwork measures 114 x 164 cm and is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria.

Description of the Image

The painting depicts a lively peasant wedding scene, with guests gathered around a long table to celebrate the union of the bride and groom. The artist has captured the joy and energy of the occasion, with figures engaged in various activities such as eating, drinking, playing music, and dancing. In the center of the composition, the bride is seated under a canopy, while the groom remains uncertain but may be the man in black to her left, leaning back with a mug in hand. Two pipers play the pijpzak, and an unbreeched boy licks a plate in the foreground. The feast takes place in a barn, with two ears of corn hanging from the ceiling as decorations. The artist has paid attention to detail, capturing the textures and patterns of the clothing, food, and surroundings.

Location

The painting is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria, which boasts an extensive collection of Austrian art dating from the Middle Ages to the present day. The museum is located in the Belvedere palaces, which were built as a summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy in the early eighteenth century.
