''Celebration of the Peace of Münster'' is a 1648 painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Bartholomeus van der Helst, commemorating the Peace of Münster, a treaty that was part of the Peace of Westphalia. The treaty, signed on May 15, 1648, marked the end of the Thirty Years' War in the Holy Roman Empire and the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic for Dutch independence.

This historically significant painting captures the moment of celebration and relief at the end of prolonged conflict. Van der Helst was renowned for his ability to portray group scenes with a high level of detail and individual characterization, and this work is no exception. It is a group portrait featuring the regents who were in charge of the civic guard company, or schutterij, responsible for order during the celebrations in Amsterdam.

The painting is notable for its large scale and the skillful depiction of the sumptuous attire of the figures, reflecting the wealth and pride of the Dutch Republic during its Golden Age. The artist's mastery in rendering textures, from the gleam of armor to the softness of lace and the richness of velvet, is evident throughout the composition. The figures are arranged in a balanced and dynamic manner, with a sense of depth and space that invites the viewer to partake in the historic event.

The ''Celebration of the Peace of Münster'' is not only a work of art but also a document of its time, offering insight into the political and social circumstances of the 17th-century Dutch Republic. It is preserved in the collection of the Amsterdam Museum in the Netherlands, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance.
