The Peasant Wedding
The artist
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a painter from the Low Countries known for his lively scenes of village life.
What you see
A cheerful wedding party in a barn, where guests sit at a long table and helpers carry plates of warm food.
The story
Bruegel painted this happy country wedding around 1567, showing ordinary farm folk enjoying a big celebration.
The style
He filled the room with warm browns and reds and lots of busy people, so there is always something new to find.
Look closer
Two helpers carry a wooden door used as a tray, loaded with bowls of pudding for the hungry guests.
Where to see it
You can see it at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, next to other famous Bruegel paintings.
Fun fact
See if you can find the bride, who sits quietly under a paper crown, while it is hard to spot the groom at all.
