The Dutch artist Jan Steen painted The Merry Family in the 17th century, portraying a humorous scene of a large family enjoying themselves at a table. They are playing music and smoking. The bright colors bring forth the family’s antics and fun-loving nature to the fore. Steen’s paintings often focus on daily humorous scenes.
Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens painted an old myth of an aged man, Cimon, who was sentenced to die of starvation. His daughter, Pero, sneaked in and resolved to nurse him from her own breast. Rubens draws them in classical styles with rich colors, keeping idealized proportions to capture the vivid details of this dramatic moment.
The Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn painted two life-size portraits, Marten and Oopjen with a rich color palette. The scene portrays a sense of intimacy and familiarity. Following minor restoration at the Rijksmuseum, the legendary painting is showcased at both their new homes, the Louvre in Paris and Rijksmuseum.
