The Fat Kitchen
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jan Havicksz Steen is a captivating snapshot of 17th-century domestic life, showcasing the artist's mastery in capturing human vices and everyday scenes. This oil on wood painting, found in the esteemed collection of Liechtenstein Museum, transports us to a bustling kitchen filled with lively characters and indulgent activities. In this boisterous scene, we witness the consequences of excessive drinking as merry individuals gather around a cluttered kitchen table. Wine flows freely from jugs while pots simmer on the stove, creating an atmosphere of revelry and merriment. The artist skillfully portrays both the joviality and chaos that accompany such gatherings. Steen's attention to detail is evident in every corner of this composition - from crockery stacked haphazardly in kitchen cupboards to pans hanging precariously overhead. Amidst all this commotion, a cook diligently tends to his duties while others engage in gluttonous feasting or raucous conversation. "The Fat Kitchen" serves as a reminder that even within our daily routines, there exists room for festivity and indulgence. Steen's portrayal highlights not only the pleasures but also the pitfalls associated with overindulgence – reminding us that wine can be both mocker and companion. This fine art image invites contemplation about our own relationship with food and drink while offering glimpses into historical culinary practices. It captures an era where kitchens were vibrant hubs of activity – places where joy mingled with excesses
