Dance in art - Bruegel's 'The Peasant Dance'

Pieter Bruegel the Elder was a Renaissance painter from the Netherlands who is known for his paintings of peasants and landscapes. In 'The Peasant Dance', painted in 1568, we see a jolly group of ordinary folk enjoying a real 'knees-up' (as the Brits would say)! The beer's a-flowin', there's a piper playing some (no doubt) lively tunes, and we can see three couples kicking their heels up to the music.

Now that's what I call a party!
