Market Peasants
1567 | Joachim Beuckelaer
Bueckelaer, who was a nephew and pupil of Pieter Aertsen, was so faithful to the compositional style and basic colouristic principles of his teacher that is it sometimes difficult to choose between them in making an attribution. Here, however, the painting is dated 1567 on the cask at the right and bears Bueckelaer’s monogram, thus making his authorship certain. References to carnal pleasures are repeatedly found in individual motifs in the market pictures of Aertsen and Bueckelaer. In this painting as well, a second level of meaning may have been intentional.
