Flemish School. The Village Feast, circa 1650-1700, oil on canvas, with old relining and surface restoration (probably mid 20th century), 20th-century English inscription to lower edge of the stretcher verso 'Atterwell Clean & Reline MIN £55', and 20th-century printed label of the Fine Arts Studio, Specialists in Restoration of Oil Paintings, The Old Vicarage, Ticknall, Derbyshire, 87.5 x 101.5 cm (34.5 x 40 ins), antique-style gilt moulded frame (Qty: 1) Provenance: Believed to have been part of the collection of Sir Robert Peel 1788-1850, at Dosthill Hall, near Tamworth, Staffordshire. Tolson Family (resident at Dosthill Hall from the 1850s onwards), by descent to Rodney Tolson Gausden (1923-2015), of Sutton Coldfield. A large scale scene of a Flemish village feast, or kermesse, possibly for the Feast of the Annunciation (25th March), as a single bird hovers almost directly above the church in the distance, possibly therefore symbolising the dove of the Holy Spirit. Elegantly dressed figures mix with peasants, some of whom are dancing and drinking outside a tavern to the right, while a procession of figures file towards the church in the distance. The Flemish tradition of village feast painting was established by the Bruegel dynasty (including Pieter Bruegel the Elder, circa 1525/30-1569), and continued by other artists, including David Teniers (1582-1649) and David Vinckboons (1576-before 1633).
