The Prodigal Son Feasting 1535 - 1545

"The Prodigal Son Feasting" is a roundel painting on glass by Pieter Coecke van Aelst, created between 1535 and 1545. It depicts a scene from the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son, where the son is reunited with his father and they celebrate with a feast. The scene is set in a grand, open courtyard, and the figures are depicted in a lively and realistic style. The roundel's unique circular format, and Coecke van Aelst's keen attention to detail make this a valuable work in the history of Northern Renaissance Art. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
