May Day Celebrations at Xeuilley

Jacques Callot 1623/1624

The Art Museum RIGA BOURSE
Riga, Latvia

The composition depicts the May, Spring and Youth celebrations in a French village. The genre painting is masterfully combined with the landscape. Within each group of people, certain plot relations can be observed, which in general turn this group into mutual interplay and interaction, excluding a different perception of each character.
