Jan Miense Molenaer /anglais: Painter of the Dutch Golden Age - Tapa blanda

One of Holland's most innovative painters of the seventeenth century, but long overshadowed by his more famous wife, painter Judith Leyster, Molenaer is a key link between Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Jan Steen. His early work consists of colourful genre paintings, portraits, and portrayals of the playful world of children, followed by a concentration on scenes of peasant life, all displaying an inventive symbolism and humour.
