Merrymakers at Shrovetide
Artist: Frans Hals (Dutch, 1582–1666)
Original Dimensions: 51 3/4" x 39 1/4"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (ca. 1616–17) "Shrovetide, now better known as Mardi Gras, is the traditional period of indulgence before the fasting and self-discipline of Lent. In the seventeenth-century Netherlands, it was also the occasion for theatrical performances by the painters’ guilds. Here, Hals depicts two stock figures from these plays, Hans Worst, with a sausage dangling from his cap, and Pekelharing, who sports a garland of salted fish and eggs. They flank a richly dressed girl (probably a boy in drag, as women were not permitted to perform on these occasions). Still-life elements litter the foreground, evoking both the traditional foods of the festival and an abundance of erotic innuendo." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
