Fish Market (Joachim Beuckelaer)

Fish Market is a 1568 painting by the Flemish artist Joachim Beuckelaer in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Executed in oil on wood (Baltic oak), the work depicts a bustling fish market. Painted during the waning years of the religious iconoclasm of the Beeldenstorm, the painting reflects the shift in Netherlandish art from religious to secular themes.
