KCTIOX , I.OXDOX Jan Steen painted this portrait when he was about forty years old. Dressed in a brown jacket with yellow sleeves, green slashed hose, a dark red cap, and long brown cloak lined with red, he sits before us with legs crossed, singing a rollicking song as he touches the strings of his mandolin. Behind him is a green curtain, and at his side a table on which are music-books and a silver tankard. The tones are broken and transparent; the execution broad and masterly. 'I'he panel measures less than two feet high by one foot and a half wide. [•274 ] t MASTERS IN ART an lb t e e n BORN 1 0 2 G : DIED 1 G 7 9 DUTCH SCHOOL he lives of the great seventeenth-century painters of Holland are for the T most part known to us only in outline. Even that of Rembrandt, the greatest of them all, is more or less shrouded in mystery, and therefore it is perhaps not surprising that of the life of Jan Steen (pronounced Yahn Stane), who in certain of his qualities as a painter is regarded as second only to Rem- brandt, few authenticated details have been handed down. Recent research has revealed a number of facts, and discovered and established beyond ques- tion considerable data, thereby providing us with a framework which it is left to our imagination to fill out — to our imagination, or to those legendary tales concerning the painter for which Houbraken, the eighteenth-century biog- rapher of Dutch artists, is largely responsible, but which rest on no firm foun- dation and are wholly without documentary proof.
