A Flemish Fair
View through Europeana Collections
This magnificent landscape (in perfect condition) depicts a Kermis or fair, during which a religious festival is celebrated by a rustic street party. The subject had been treated by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, in his Peasant Dance of c.1568 as a 'Vanity Fair' of drink-fuelled folly and vice. Jan Brueghel by contrast sees the Kermis as an emblem of the happiness of a well-ordered society at play.
