EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Flemish artist Pieter Balten (1527-1584) transports us back to the lively and bustling atmosphere of a 16th-century European village market, or "kermis," as depicted in this FAIR image housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, Hungary. Balten, a renowned Flemish painter and engraver of the Northern Renaissance, masterfully captures the spirit of celebration and economic activity that characterized these open-air events. The scene unfolds before us as a diverse crowd of Dutch, Flemish, and other European onlookers gather around a church, their eyes fixed on the various vendors and merchants displaying their wares. Animals, both large and small, are a common sight, adding to the vibrant and chaotic scene. A horse and cart, laden with goods, dominates the foreground, while in the background, a procession of people make their way towards the church, perhaps for a religious ceremony or celebration. Balten's intricate and detailed engraving technique brings every element of this 16th-century market to life, from the intricately patterned clothing of the villagers to the textures of the various goods on display. This print serves as a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and culture of Europe during the modern age. The small village scene is a testament to Balten's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of a bygone era.
