Inspired by the renowned Pieter Bruegel the Elder, this 16th-century engraving captures the essence of agricultural life and rural festivities. In this scene, we are transported to a lively wedding celebration in Flanders. The image depicts a group of men and women joyously dancing together under the night sky. The intricate details of their traditional attire highlight their humble origins as farmworkers or peasants.
