| Dutch genre painter Jan Steen was born in Leiden c. 1625/26 into the family of a brewer. He enrolled briefly at the university in 1646, but very soon turned to Holland paintings. Steen probably received his training in Utrecht from Nicolaes Knüpfer, and worked in the workshops of Adriaen van Ostade in Haarlem and van Goyen in The Hague, whose daughter married in 1649. Jan Steen remained in The Hague until 1654, and then moved to Delft (1654-56), where the painter took over a brewery, which soon failed. The next five years Steen lived in Warmond near Leiden. From 1661 till 1670 Jan Steen was in Haarlem, and finally settled for the last ten years of his life again in Leiden where the artist obtained a license to run a tavern (since 1672). |
