Flanders / c. 1645–50
Landscape with Peasants Dancing
The Cleveland Museum of Art catalogs Landscape with Peasants Dancing as painting (Flanders · c. 1645–50).
This painting combines two of David Teniers's specialties: landscape and scenes of country life.
A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this painting as oil on wood and credits David Teniers (Flemish, 1610–1690).
The museum's collection notes: Before a rustic inn, a group of villagers converse, embrace, and dance to a bagpiper’s tune. Teniers was one of many Netherlandish artists whose paintings celebrate the joys of country life. These delicately painted works were created primarily for an elite urban audience nostalgic for a simpler existence.
