Feast of the Epiphany c. 1600 - 1649

This anonymous 17th-century Dutch painting, "Feast of the Epiphany," depicts a lively scene of revelry at a peasant's table. The composition, with its warm, earthy tones and focus on figures rather than a grand landscape, aligns with the genre of "tronie," a type of portrait that emphasizes facial expression and character. The scene is full of life, with the figures engaged in animated conversation and gestures, suggesting a joyous celebration, possibly marking the Feast of the Epiphany. The painting is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of 17th-century Dutch society.
