About the piece
Painted in 1649, David Teniers the Younger captures the spirited atmosphere of a village festival, or kermis, on St George’s Day. The composition is masterfully balanced, leading the eye from the foreground revelry of dancing peasants and musicians to the finely detailed thatched tavern and the distant, airy landscape.
