2026 marks 400 years since painter Jan Steen was born, in Leiden. This book offers a unique look at the life of this world-famous artist, and his Leiden circle. Jan Steen captured daily life in paintings that are full of humour, displaying a keen eye for detail, depicting scenes that make us laugh, and give us food for thought. He was remarkably versatile, his work combining fine details alongside loose, lively brushwork. Steen’s paintings also feel very personal, as he often included himself and his family in them. The book is lavishly illustrated, with a particular focus on the many, often funny, small details in the paintings.
