1785
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Noce de Village (Village Wedding) is a 1785 ink by Charles-Melchior Descourtis, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a village wedding at night. The scene is bright but blurry, with people dancing in a circle. Some hold hands, others wave their arms. A band plays music in the background, and a few trees stand tall near the edge. The artist used a soft, watery ink to make the whole scene glow. Everything looks warm and busy, like a celebration. Check out Descourtis, Charles-Melchior to see how he painted other lively scenes.
Charles-Melchior Descourtis (1753–1820) was a French artist, born in Paris.
