Skittle Players outside an Inn, c1660
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jan Steen captures a vibrant scene from 17th century Holland. In this lively painting, we are transported to a quaint country inn where a group of men and boys gather for an afternoon of leisurely enjoyment. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the surrounding nature - lush trees and plants frame the inn, creating a picturesque backdrop. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly the skittle game taking place in front of the inn. Men and boys eagerly participate in this popular pastime, their colorful clothing adding splashes of vibrancy to the scene. A horse grazes peacefully nearby, lending an air of tranquility amidst all the excitement. Jan Steen's masterful use of oil paints brings life and movement to each figure depicted. We can almost hear their laughter and feel their camaraderie as they engage in friendly competition. The building itself exudes charm with its rustic architecture, inviting us into a world where art meets everyday life. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate Jan Steen's skillful portrayal of Dutch culture during this period. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found joy in simple pleasures like games and socializing at local establishments like this charming inn.
