The Peasant Dance by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna Austria
«The Peasant Dance» by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria.
«The Peasant Dance» (1568) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (Netherlandish, Breda (?) ca. 1525-1569 Brussels) in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria.
«The Peasant Dance» is an oil-on-panel by the Netherlandish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, painted in c.1569. It was looted by Napoleon Bonaparte and brought to Paris in 1808, being returned in 1815. Today it is held by and exhibited at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
Description:
The panel, neither signed nor dated, was painted circa 1567, at about the same time as The Peasant Wedding. The paintings are the same size and may have been intended as a pair or as part of a series illustrating peasant life. They are the two most outstanding examples of Bruegel's late style, which is characterized by his use of monumental Italianate figures.
Details:
Like The Peasant Wedding, it is likely that Bruegel intended this painting to have a moral sense rather than simply being an affectionate portrayal of peasant life. Gluttony, lust and anger can all be identified in the picture. The man seated next to the bagpipe player wears a peacock feather in his hat, a symbol of vanity and pride. The occasion for the peasants' revelry is a Saint's day, but dancers turn their backs on the church and pay no attention whatsoever to the image of the Virgin which hangs on the tree. The prominence of the tavern makes it clear that they are preoccupied with material rather than spiritual matters.
