Jan Steen, Painter and Storyteller
Amsterdam/ Washington, Rijksmuseum/ National Gallery of Art., 1996 Softcover, 272 pages, English, 275 x 250 mm, fine copy, with illustrations in colour and b/w, ISBN 9780894682230.
One of the most popular painters of the Golden Age, known for his ironic and humorous view of the world. He is most appreciated for his comical portrayals of dilapidated households, quacks examining miniaturized girls, noisy open-air parties and pub scenes. However, Steen also painted genre pieces with a serious side, some highly original portraits and particularly interesting history pieces that vary widely in style and atmosphere, from the quiet and intimate to the large and melodramatic.
