Jan Steen

Jan Steen(1626-1679) is well-known for his paintings of cheerful groups in chaotic environments. Especially interesting are his, usually not very flattering, self-portraits. He could not make a living by painting alone, and also ran a tavern in his home. This tavern is the setting for several of his paintings.
