Jan Steen Havikzoon
(Jan Stan niderl. Jan Havickszoon Steen;
approx. 1626, Leiden - until February 3, 1679, Leiden)
Jan Steen is probably the most cheerful and witty Dutch painters of the 17th century and the most famous artist, genre painter, thanks humorous scenes of everyday life in his paintings, filled with warm cordiality, kindness and good-natured irony, in which the artist considers life as a vast comedy of manners. In Jan Steen had no students reported (except Richard Brekenberga), but the work of the artist is widely imitated by many Dutch painters during the life of the master. The exact date of the death of Jan Steen (as well as the cause of death) is not installed, but it is known that the artist was buried February 3, 1679 in the family grave in the outskirts of Leiden Piterskerke.
