# Elegant Party in an Ornate Palace Garden [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VINCKBOONS, David]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on oak panel, 51 x 98 cm ## Commentary In the magnificent gardens of a country palace a group of young and fashionable figures have assembled for a banquet beneath the trees. It is an early example of fête galantes painted in the Netherlands in the early seventeenth century that would prove hugely influential on Dutch painting, especially in Haarlem, for a generation or more. Esias van de Velde, Willem Buytewech and Dirck Hals, were, for example, all directly influenced by Vinckboons's examples. ## Related artworks - [A Blind Hurdy-Gurdy Player]() - [An Officer Preparing His Troops for an Ambush]() - [Blind Hurdy-Gurdy Player]() - [Distribution of Loaves to the Poor]() - [Elderly Fisherman with a Girl]() - [Extensive Landscape]() - [Forest Landscape with Two of Christ's Miracles \(detail\)]() - [Forest Landscape with Two of Christ's Miracles]() - [Forest Scene with Robbery]() - [Kermis]() - [Music-making Company in the Open]() - [Peasant Feast]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
