Abstract
Bruegel’s Wedding Dance looks remarkably di erent today from the way it appeared when it arrived at the DIA in 1930. We have almost no written records of what has happened to the painting since it entered the collection in 1930—and we have none of what happened to it before its acquisition by the DIA. As a result, the photographs and color print that depict e Wedding Dance have become an important source for our understanding of the painting’s condition and changes over time. e most consequential transformation occurred during William Suhr’s comprehensive conservation treatment of the painting in 1941. Although Suhr wrote a report in 1942 describing the condition of the painting after his treatment, it is the photographic documentation, supported by archival sources, that helps us contextualize and fully understand this important treatment.

勃鲁盖尔的婚礼舞蹈今天看起来与1930年在DIA出现时的样子截然不同。我们几乎没有关于这幅画自1930年进入收藏以来发生了什么的书面记录,也没有关于它被国防情报局收购之前发生了什么。因此,描绘《婚礼舞蹈》的照片和彩色版画成为我们了解这幅画的状况和随时间变化的重要来源。最重要的转变发生在1941年威廉·苏尔对这幅画进行全面的保护处理期间。尽管苏尔在1942年写了一份报告,描述了这幅画在接受治疗后的状况,但正是有档案来源支持的摄影文献,帮助我们了解并充分理解了这一重要治疗。H I S T O R I C A L I M A G E S O F T H E W E D I N G A N C E
