VINCKBOONS, David
(b. 1576, Mechelen, d. ca. 1633, Amsterdam)

Peasant Feast

1606
Oil on panel, 25 x 32 cm
Private collection

The painter portrays the wide variety of festivities taking place in this revelrous Peasant Feast. As is typical with Dutch and Flemish feast scenes, this highly animated composition is interspersed with more grotesque passages, including a man becoming sick at the table in back.

The painting is signed in monogram and dated upper right: DvB 1606.
