Adriaen Brouwer
Fighting Peasants

c. 1625-1626 Zu sehen in Saal 4

The Flemish painter Adriaen Brouwer lived for a while in Amsterdam and Haarlem, where he introduced the peasant genre. His scenes show caricatures of the lives of peasants and country folk, which respectable Dutch buyers found very amusing.

Outside an inn, some peasants are playing cards. Heightened by drink, spirits have risen to such levels that they have started fighting one another.
