Paintings by Jan Steen
Jan Steen was an incredibly talented painter from the Netherlands. His life and work are from the 17th century, a period that falls within the Baroque era. Jan Havicksz Steen, as his full name goes, did not come from an artistic family; his father was a beer merchant. Nevertheless, he decided to pursue a career in art, with guidance from Nicolaus Knupfer and Adriaen van Ostade, both outstanding painters, and his father-in-law Jan van Goyen, a renowned landscape artist. He learned from these masters. Although initially, painting was one of his ways to pay off debts, it quickly brought him fame and recognition worldwide. Steen created nearly 800 paintings, of which about 300 have survived to this day. Selected works can be admired in museums worldwide.
