EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively painting captures the essence of a peasant wedding celebrated in an inn. The scene is filled with joy, music, and merriment as guests gather around a long table on the right side of the image. In the center sits the radiant bride, surrounded by men who are engaged in animated conversation. A beautiful tapestry adorns the wall behind her, adding a touch of elegance to this rustic setting. To her left sits the groom, raising his glass in celebration while enjoying his drink. In front of them all, an elderly man dances energetically to the enchanting melodies played by musicians with their violin and cello. Onlookers stand on the left side, captivated by both the music and festivities unfolding before them. The floor beneath them tells its own story - scattered eggshells from earlier feasting mingle with bones from hearty meals enjoyed throughout this joyful occasion. A plate and spoon lay discarded nearby as evidence of a sumptuous wedding feast. Painted by Jan Havicksz Steen in 1672 using oil paint on panel, this masterpiece showcases not only his artistic skill but also his ability to capture scenes that reflect everyday life during that era. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate Steen's attention to detail and his ability to convey emotions through color and composition.
