About the piece

Painted by Pieter de Bloot in 1639, this oil-on-panel work illustrates a traditional kermis in a Dutch village. The composition masterfully balances the social activity of the foreground—featuring peasants in various states of revelry—with a sweeping landscape that leads the eye toward a distant church spire, characteristic of the Golden Age genre style.
