Pieter Bruegel the Elder, father of the Bruegel dynasty of artists, produced only a few dozen paintings, making works such as The Wedding Dance exceptionally rare. His scenes of peasant life depict a world unfamiliar to the sixteenth-century ruling classes: folk alive with raucous celebration, joyful lust, music, dance, and a fair bit of drinking.
This painting, once assumed lost, was rediscovered in 1930 by the director of the Detroit Institute of Arts, who purchased it for the museum. At some point over the centuries, the men’s costumes had been modified with “modesty overpainting,” removed during a 1942 restoration that returned Bruegel’s masterpiece to its original color and form, seen here.

I knew it would be tough, and it was. But then, the finish is all the more fulfilling.
My husband is a fan of Pieter Bruegel and I got him this puzzle as a Christmas gift. He is sitting at the kitchen table right now working on it. He loves it and it's a wonderful way to while away a few hours during the winter and the pandemic. Very good quality puzzle. I recommend this company.
Good quality selection of master art work.
The pieces fit well together, so that it isn't hard to see if you have made a correct match. The print of the scene on the front of the box is very clear, so that you can see all of the detail. The scene and the colors are great! I found this puzzle to be difficult. The first part of getting all of the figures done went well, but I got bogged down, when I had so much background of brown colors. I did solve it, but I was longer than usual at it. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who likes an easy, quick puzzle.
