David Teniers II
Peasant Holiday
#5
David Teniers II (The Younger) is an outstanding 17th-century Flemish painter from Antwerp. His father, David Teniers the Elder, was also an artist, and his son received the first drawing and painting lessons from him. An important contribution to the success of David was made by his successful marriage to the daughter of the famous painter Jan Brueghel the Elder, Anne Brueghel. She was also an artist, a student of Peter Paul Rubens himself, and the marriage helped the young David Teniers win the patronage of the master, which later grew into a strong friendship. 

In 1644, David Teniers the Younger took up a position in the Guild of Antwerp Artists (Guild of St. Luke) and gradually gained fame in local circles of artists and connoisseurs of painting. Among his most famous customers were King Philip IV of Spain and the Stadtholder of Holland, William II of Orange.

David Teniers the Younger played a significant role in the founding of the Antwerp Academy of Arts and in 1663 became its first rector. During his long life, he wrote more than seven hundred works, and now they are stored in all major museums in the world.

The Flemish master entered the history of world art, first of all, as a genre painter - the author of compositions, where, as a rule, the life of the lower layers of society - peasants, artisans, soldiers, was depicted.

Under the influence P.P. Rubens’ picture “Kermessa”, depicting a peasant holiday, David Teniers the Younger creates a huge number of paintings on this topic, varying the composition “Peasant Holiday”, created by him in 1667. 

One of the versions is in the Penza Art Gallery. A small work done on a board depicts a feast of peasants. David Teniers the Younger dilutes the festive and carefree atmosphere by two comic scenes with moralizing overtones: the old woman hardly takes away the tipsy young man, and at the gate, two women and a man push out the second, stubbornly stubborn hapless drunkard. 

In his paintings with many characters forming a crowded action, the artist always endowed each participant with his small role and expressive mood, unique pose or gesture.
