Reference - Wedding Dance by Peter Bruegel the Elder
Once the source of inspiration for Diego Rivera and now Jaclyn Conley, Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s The Wedding
Dance epitomizes its creator’s keen fascination with local traditional life. His paintings are characterized by the
documentation of recreation and daily activities, exemplifying his adept observation of human behavior. Subtly
pointing out the demoralizing qualities of his subjects, in this case, the work resonates with the reactionary time in
which he was working in.
