Description: | This tavern interior is typical of Cornelis Dusart's paintings. He borrowed heavily from the style and subjects of his teacher Adriaen van Ostade whose work was seminal in the development of Dutch genre painting. Scenes such as this, showing the revelry of a group of peasant characters at varying stages of intoxication were intended to be both humorous and moralistic. Despite the figures' obvious enjoyment of their debauchery and their delight at the entrance of a man with bagpipes, the impoverished setting and their grotesque appearance deride the iniquities of their behaviour. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dusart, Cornelis (Dutch painter and printmaker, 1660-1704) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8845... | Go to resource |
