Jan Steen-Dutch Golden Age Painter(Leiden NL)
Jan Steen-Dutch Golden Age Painter(Leiden NL)
Jan Havickszoon Steen was probably born in the year 1626 in Leiden (The Netherlands). Like his even more famous contemporary Rembrandt van Rijn, Jan Steen attended the Latin school in Leiden. He received his painterly education from Nicolaes Knupfer, a German painter of historical and figurative scenes in Utrecht. Influences of Knupfer can be found in Steen's use of composition and colour. In 1648 Jan Steen joined the Sint Lucas Guild of painters at Leiden. Another source of inspiration was Adriaen van Ostade, painter of rural scenes, who lived in Haarlem. Whether Steen actually studied with Ostade is not known.
Steen then moved into the house of landscape painter Jan van Goyen in The Hague, and married van Goyen's daughter Margriet. Both Jan's worked together for five years. In 1654 Steen moved to Delft, where he ran brewery De Roscam without much success. He lived in Warmond from 1656/1657 till 1660 and in Haarlem from 1660 till 1670 in which period he was especially productive. In 1670, after the death of his wife in 1669 and his father in 1670, Steen moved back to Leiden, where he stayed the rest of his life. Still in 1670 he married again, with Maria van Egmont, who gave him two children. In 1672 Steen, son of a brewer himself, opened a tavern. In 1674 he became president of the Sint Lucas Guild.
Daily life was the most important theme throughout Jan Steen's paintings, but he did not shy from other themes: he also painted historical, mythological and religious scenes, portraits, still-lives and natural scenes. His portraits of children are famous. He is also well known for his mastery of light and attention to detail, most notably in textiles. Steen produced about 800 paintings.
Jan Steen's work was valued much by contemporaries and as a result he was reasonably well paid for his work. He did not have any students, but his work proved a source of inspiration for many painters.
Jan Steen died January 1, 1679 in Leiden and was interred in a family grave in the Pieterskerk.

STEEN - Paintings by Jan Steen in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Steen was born in Leiden, a town in Southern Holland, where his well-to-do, Catholic family were brewers who ran the tavern The Red Halbert for two generations. Steen's father even leased him a brewery of his own in Delft from the years 1654 until 1657. He was the eldest of eight or more children. Like his even more famous contemporary Rembrandt van Rijn, Jan Steen attended the Latin school and became a student in Leiden. He received his painterly education from Nicolaes Knupfer (1603-1660), a German painter of historical and figurative scenes in Utrecht. Influences of Knupfer can be found in Steen's use of composition and colour. Other sources of inspiration were Adriaen van Ostade and Isaac van Ostade, painters of rural scenes, who lived in Haarlem. Whether Steen actually studied with Ostade is not known.
In 1648 Jan Steen and Gabriël Metsu founded the painters' Guild of Saint Luke at Leiden. Soon after he became an assistant to the renowned landscape painter Jan van Goyen (1596–1656), and moved into his house on the Bierkade in The Hague. On Oct 3, 1649 he married van Goyen's daughter Margriet, with whom he would have eight children. Steen worked with his father-in-law until 1654, when he moved to Delft, where he ran the brewery De Slang (The Snake) for three years without much success. After the explosion in Delft in 1654 the art market was depressed, but Steen painted A Burgomaster of Delft and his daughter. It does not seem to be clear if this painting should be called a portrait or a genre work.
Steen lived in Warmond, just north of Leiden, from 1656 till 1660 and in Haarlem from 1660 till 1670 and in both periods he was especially productive. In 1670, after the death of his wife in 1669 and his father in 1670, Steen moved back to Leiden, where he stayed the rest of his life. When the art market collapsed in 1672, called the Year of Disaster, Steen opened a tavern. In April 1673 he married Maria van Egmont, who gave him another child. In 1674 he became president of the Saint Lucas Guild. Frans van Mieris (1635- 1681) became one of his drinking companions. He died in Leiden in 1679 and was interred in a family grave in the Pieterskerk.

Mauritshuis, The Hague, Netherlands
The Mauritshuis is one of the most important art museums in the Netherlands. While it is most famous for one painting, Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earring, it contains many other great works of art, including two other world-famous masterpieces, Anatomy Lesson by Rembrandt and Paul Potter’s Bull. Mauritshuis has 800 paintings, mostly from the Dutch Golden Age along with 50 miniatures, 20 sculptures and various drawings and prints, assembled in what is called the Royal Cabinet of Paintings. It has the highest number of masterpieces per square meter in the Netherlands, including paintings by masterpieces by Jan Steen, Frans Hals, Jacob van Ruisdael, Hans Holbein, and others.
The Mauritshuis is open every day. On Mondays the museum opens at 13:00 instead of 10:00, and on Thursdays it is open in the evening until 20:00. Tip for those who wish to avoid the busiest time: the Mauritshuis is relatively quiet in the afternoons after 15:00 and on Thursday evenings.

Delftse grafsteen weer terecht - Westonline.nl
De grafsteen die afgelopen week verdween op begraafplaats Iepenhof in Delft is weer terecht. De steen was door een natuursteenbedrijf geleend om als voorbeeld te dienen voor een andere grafsteen. Deze nieuwe grafsteen was besteld door de familie Van Akkeren, die ook eigenaar is van de vermiste steen. Het natuursteenbedrijf haalde de originele steen weg om op te knappen en als voorbeeld te dienen, maar vergat de familie in te lichten.
Jan Steen (1626–1679) ✽ Dutch painter
Thank you everyone for watching and for comments! ✽ All the best.
Jan Steen, in full Jan Havickszoon Steen, (born c. 1626, Leiden, Netherlands—died February 3, 1679, Leiden), Dutch painter of genre, or everyday, scenes, often lively interiors bearing a moralizing theme.
Steen is unique among leading 17th-century Dutch painters for his humour; he has often been compared to the French comic playwright Molière, his contemporary, and indeed both men treated life as a vast comedy of manners. Some of the artist’s biblical and classical paintings such as Antony and Cleopatra (1667) may have been inspired by the contemporary stage. His portraits of rhetoricians, such as Rhetoricians at a Window (1658–65), attest to his interest in these groups of amateur actors.
Steen was enrolled at the University of Leiden in 1646 and in 1648 was one of the founding members, along with Gabriel Metsu and others, of the Leiden painters’ Guild of St. Luke. His early teachers seem to have been the historical painter Nicolaus Knupfer at Utrecht, genre and landscape painter Adriaen van Ostade at Haarlem, and the landscapist Jan van Goyen at The Hague. In 1649 Steen married van Goyen’s daughter and settled at The Hague for the next few years. He moved to Delft in 1654 and to Haarlem in 1661. In 1670 he was back in Leiden, and in 1673 he married again.
In Steen’s landscapes, including his winter scenes, small earthy figures recall those of Adriaen and of Isack van Ostade. In his later works the figures are larger, less crowded, and more individually characterized. He shows them playing cards or the bowling game called skittles, or carousing, as in Skittle Players Outside an Inn (c. 1660). His frequent use of inns probably reflects his own background as the son of a brewer and sometime brewer and tavernkeeper himself. He was a master at capturing subtleties of facial expression, especially in children. His best works display great technical skill, particularly in the handling of colour.
During Steen’s last years, his paintings began to anticipate the Rococo style of the 18th century, becoming increasingly elegant and somewhat less energetic, as in the Serenade (c. 1675), and showing a heavy French influence and an increased flamboyance.
Amsterdam's best art museum, the Rijksmuseum
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands is a huge world-famous collection presented in 80 galleries, exhibiting 8,000 objects that tell the story of 800 years of Dutch art and history. This collection focuses primarily on Dutch paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries, rather than trying to present a complete sample of the entire world of art. The museum has a lot to show, thanks especially to the extreme genius of great native painters, Frans Hals, Vermeer, van Ruisdael, Jan Steen, and most-famously, Rembrandt.
Don’t miss out on the absolute highlights, like Vermeer’s Milkmaid, Van Gogh’s Self-portrait and a gorgeous collection of Delft Blue pottery ranging from tea sets to vases,
The total archive includes 1 million objects from the years 1200–2000, with more than 2,000 paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. Some 30 galleries are dedicated to the glory of the Golden Age, when the young mercantile republic led the world in trade, science, shipping and the arts.
Many objects from Dutch history tell the story with Paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, silver, porcelain, delftware, furniture, jewelry, costumes and more. There are also dozens of rooms with medieval arts and later decorative pieces of the 19th century, 17th century miniature house models, along with a sampling of minor Italian Renaissance paintings
The building itself is a major work of art, designed in neo-Gothic and Reneissance styles by Pierre Cuypers, who also designed the similar-looking Central Train Station, both completed in the 1880s. The red terra-cotta façade is adorned with many statues, decorative stripes, reliefs and ceramic plaques, using a mix of medieval and 19th century styles.
Delft Nederland
Delft is een stad en gemeente in Zuid-Holland in Nederland, gelegen aan de Schie, tussen Den Haag en Rotterdam.
Delft heeft een historische binnenstad, ontwikkelde zich in de 19e eeuw tot industriestad en profileert zich tegenwoordig, met de aanwezigheid van een Technische Universiteit en de onderzoeksinstituten TNO en Deltares, vooral als Delft Kennisstad met als slogan Creating History.
Binnen de geschiedenis van Nederland is Delft vooral bekend doordat Willem van Oranje er vanaf 1572 heeft geresideerd en er in 1584 werd vermoord. De Oranjes worden sindsdien traditioneel in Delft bijgezet. De bijnaam van Delft is de Prinsenstad. De patroonheilige van de stad is Hippolytus van Rome.
Delft is ontstaan aan een gegraven waterloop, de 'Delf', en heet daar ook naar; delven betekent graven. Op de verhoogde plaats waar deze 'Delf' de kreekwal van het dichtgeslibde riviertje de Gantel kruiste, was, vermoedelijk sinds de 11e eeuw, een grafelijke vroonhof gevestigd. Delft was mede hierdoor een belangrijk marktcentrum, wat nog te zien is aan de omvang van het centrale marktplein.
Graaf Willem II verleende Delft op 15 april 1246 stadsrecht. Handel en nijverheid kwamen er tot grote bloei. In 1389 werd de Delfshavensche Schie naar de Maas gegraven, aan welks monding de zeehaven Delfshaven werd gebouwd.
Delft was tot de 17e eeuw een van de grote steden van het graafschap (later provincie) Holland. In 1400 had de stad bijvoorbeeld 6.500 inwoners en was zo de derde stad in grootte, na Dordrecht (8.000) en Haarlem (7.000). In 1560 was Amsterdam met 28.000 inwoners uitgegroeid tot de grootste stad, gevolgd door Delft, Leiden en Haarlem, die elk ongeveer 14.000 inwoners hadden.
In 1536 werd een groot deel van Delft in de as gelegd door de grote stadsbrand van Delft.
Prins Willem van Oranje resideerde korte tijd in Delft, in het voormalige Sint-Agathaklooster, dat sindsdien Prinsenhof wordt genoemd. Hij werd er op 10 juli 1584 vermoord door Balthasar Gerards. Op het gebied van de drukkunst nam de stad een vooraanstaande plaats in.
In de stad vestigden zich diverse Italiaanse plateelbakkers die een nieuwe stijl introduceerden. Ook de tapijtindustrie kwam met François Spierincx tot grote bloei. In de 17e eeuw beleefde Delft door de aanwezigheid van een Kamer van de VOC en door de fabricage van Delfts blauw een nieuwe bloeitijd.
In 1654 werd een groot deel van de stad verwoest door de Delftse donderslag - de ontploffing van een opslagplaats voor buskruit op de plaats waar zich sindsdien de Paardenmarkt bevindt. Op de 'afstand van een kanonskogel' werd een nieuw Kruithuis gebouwd, door architect Pieter Post.
Meerdere kunstschilders waren in de stad actief, zoals Leonard Bramer, Carel Fabritius, Pieter de Hoogh, Gerard Houckgeest, Emanuel de Witte, Jan Steen, en Johannes Vermeer. Reinier de Graaf en Antonie van Leeuwenhoek kregen internationale aandacht voor hun wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
Vanaf het Nederlandse rampjaar 1672 ging de Delftse economie achteruit. De stad werd overvleugeld door de beide buursteden Den Haag (als bestuurscentrum) en Rotterdam (als havenstad). In Delft bestonden rond 1670 een dertigtal fabrieken, die gedurende korter of langere tijd het plateelbakkersbedrijf hebben uitgeoefend. In 1794 waren er nog tien actief. In de 19e eeuw was er nog maar één plateelbakkerij over: De Porseleinen Fles; dit bedrijf kon als enige blijven bestaan omdat het naast aardewerk ook bakstenen ging produceren.

Pieter de Hooch: A collection of 79 paintings (HD)
Pieter de Hooch: A collection of 79 paintings (HD)
Description: Pieter de Hooch, Hooch also spelled Hoogh or Hooghe (baptized Dec. 20, 1629, Rotterdam, Neth.—buried March 24, 1684, Amsterdam) Dutch genre painter of the Delft school, noted for his interior scenes and masterful use of light.
De Hooch was a pupil of Claes Berchem at Haarlem. From 1653 he was in the service of Justus de Grange and lived in Delft, The Hague, and Leiden. He was a member of the painters’ guild of Delft from 1654 to 1657, but after that date there are no traces of his career until about 1667, when his presence was recorded in Amsterdam.
His work, both in style and subject matter, shows some affinity with that of Johannes Vermeer, who was living in Delft at the same time. His paintings, like Vermeer’s, are small works that display perfect finish and a great power of compositional discrimination. Though he sometimes painted open-air scenes—e.g., A Woman and Her Maid in a Court (1658)—and tavern genres—e.g., Backgammon Players (c. 1653)—he more typically painted two or three figures occupied with humble daily duties in a sober interior, the still atmosphere of which is broken only by the radiant entry of outdoor light illuminating the scene—e.g., The Pantry (c. 1658), A Mother Beside a Cradle (c. 1659–60), and At the Linen Closet (1663). These depictions of the serene simplicity of Dutch domestic life are free of sentimentality. Largely done between about 1655 and 1663 while de Hooch was living in Delft, they are considered his best works. In them he was preoccupied with the relation of light to different surfaces, the effect of enclosures and apertures on light intensity, the variation of tone, the complex arrangement of spatial units, and linear perspective.

History
Source: Lourens & Lucassen 1997, pp. 62–63
Founded in 716, Hoorn rapidly grew to become a major harbour town. During Holland's 'Golden Age' (or 'Golden Century'), Hoorn was an important home base for the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and a very prosperous centre of trade. The Hoorn fleet plied the seven seas and returned laden with precious commodities. Exotic spices such as pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and mace were sold at vast profits. With their skill in trade and seafaring, sons of Hoorn established the town's name far and wide. Jan Pieterszoon Coen (1587–1629) is famous for his violent raids in Dutch Indies (now Indonesia), where he founded the city of Batavia in 1619 (now Jakarta). He has a big statue on the Rode Steen square in the center of Hoorn.
In 1618 Willem Bontekoe (1587–1657) undertook his first and only voyage for the VOC. His story of his travel and hardship found its way into the history books when he published his adventures in 1646 under the title Journael ofte gedenckwaerdige beschrijvinge van de Oost-Indische reyse van Willem Ysbrantsz. Bontekoe van Hoorn, begrijpende veel wonderlijcke en gevaerlijcke saecken hem daer in wedervaren ('Journal, or memorable description, of the East-Indian voyage of Willem Ysbrantz. Bontekoe of Hoorn, comprising many wondrous and dangerous things experienced by him'). In 1616, the explorer Willem Corneliszoon Schouten braved furious storms as he rounded the southernmost tip of South America. He named it Kaap Hoorn (Cape Horn) in honour of his home town.
Hoorn's fortunes declined somewhat in the eighteenth century. The prosperous trading port became little more than a sleepy fishing village on the Zuiderzee. Following Napoleonic occupation, there was a period during which the town gradually turned its back on the sea. It developed to become the market for the entire West Frisian agricultural region. Stallholders and shopkeepers devoted themselves to trading in dairy produce and seeds. When the railway and metalled roads came to Hoorn in the late nineteenth century, the town rapidly took its rightful place as a conveniently located and readily accessible centre in the network of towns and villages which make up the province of Noord-Holland. In 1932, the Afsluitdijk, or Great Enclosing Dyke, was completed, and Hoorn was no longer a seaport.
The years after the Second World War saw a period of renewed growth. At the centre of a flourishing horticultural region, Hoorn developed an extremely varied economy. During the 1960s, Hoorn was designated an 'overflow' city to relieve pressure on the overcrowded Randstad region. Thousands of people swapped their cramped little apartments in Amsterdam for a family house with garden in one of Hoorn's modern new developments.
On 26 March 2007, Hoorn celebrated 650 years as a city: in 1357 Hoorn was awarded city rights by the Count of Holland after a lump sum payment of 1500 schilden to the Count.

Nadat ze dit drama had meegemaakt, werd Xiaozhen gedwongen om haar ware hart en voormalige principes in de steek te laten. Ze begon haar eigen eerlijke geweten en goede geest ontrouw te worden en wentelde zich in de modder van de slechte wereld. … Ze viel in ongenade, bewandelde een pad van verderf en werd daarbij vertrapt door de wereld en zat vol met littekens en blauwe plekken……
