Jan Steen (1626-1679) was a Dutch Golden Age painter who is best known for the proverb a "Jan Steen Household," a reference to the chaos he created.

His paintings provide an amazing glimpse into the daily life of Dutch people at the height of the Dutch Republic, and they hint at why the Dutch Golden Age abruptly ended shortly after.

Charming, informative and, in this case, very amusing. Oh sure, he may have included those symbols of foreboding and hints of judgement. But that appears to be the life he led...and thoroughly enjoyed! 😂
