"The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis" is a renowned painting by the Dutch Mannerist artist Joachim Wtewael, created in 1612. This work is a vivid depiction of the mythological wedding feast of Peleus, a mortal, and Thetis, a sea nymph, which is a popular subject in classical mythology. The painting is celebrated for its intricate detail and vibrant color palette, characteristic of Wtewael's style.

Wtewael's composition is bustling with activity, capturing the lively atmosphere of the divine celebration. The scene is populated by numerous gods and goddesses from Greek mythology, including Zeus, Hera, and Aphrodite, each rendered with meticulous attention to detail. The artist's use of rich, saturated colors and dynamic poses adds to the sense of movement and festivity.

One of the central elements of the painting is the infamous golden apple, inscribed with "to the fairest," which Eris, the goddess of discord, introduces to the party, ultimately leading to the events of the Trojan War. This inclusion highlights the underlying tension amidst the joyous occasion, a common theme in mythological narratives.

Wtewael's work is a prime example of Northern Mannerism, showcasing elongated figures and complex compositions. The painting reflects the artist's mastery of both mythological storytelling and technical skill, evident in the detailed rendering of fabrics, textures, and expressions.

Currently housed in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, "The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis" remains a significant piece for its artistic and historical value. It offers insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the early 17th century, as well as Wtewael's unique interpretation of classical themes. The painting continues to be appreciated for its elaborate detail and the way it captures the grandeur and complexity of mythological tales.
