''Peasant's Feast'' (also known as ''The Peasant's Banquet'') is a 16th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Pieter Aertsen. Created in 1567, this work is an exemplar of the Northern Renaissance, particularly known for its detailed depiction of everyday life and its moralistic undertones. Aertsen, often called "Long Peter" due to his height, was a pioneer in the genre of still life and genre painting, and ''Peasant's Feast'' is considered one of his masterpieces in showcasing the vivid and bustling life of the peasantry.

The painting presents a lively scene of a peasant celebration, possibly a wedding feast, where the figures are engaged in eating, drinking, and socializing. The composition is rich with narrative detail and offers a glimpse into the customs and material culture of the time. Aertsen's work is characterized by a keen observation of textures and surfaces, from the rustic wooden interiors to the variety of foods displayed on the table, which also serve as a testament to the painter's skill in still life.

''Peasant's Feast'' is notable for its complex iconography. It juxtaposes the bountiful food and the revelry of the peasants with subtle moral messages, reflecting the era's religious and social attitudes towards gluttony, temperance, and the virtues of simple, pious living. The painting's large scale and the prominence of still-life elements were innovative for the period and influenced the development of both still life and genre painting in the Netherlands.

Today, ''Peasant's Feast'' is not only appreciated for its artistic qualities but also as a valuable historical document that offers insights into 16th-century Dutch society. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of Northern European painting and is studied for its complex interplay of genre and symbolism. It remains a significant work in the oeuvre of Pieter Aertsen and occupies an important place in the history of European art.
