The Drunken Couple
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous painting by Jan Havicksz. Steen, created between 1655-65. This oil on panel artwork, measuring 52.5x64 cm, can be found at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. In this scene from the Dutch Golden Age, we witness a man and woman who are so intoxicated that they remain blissfully unaware of being robbed. The foolishness of their drunken state is emphasized by the presence of an owl perched on a print, as blind as a bat itself. Steen's masterful depiction transports us to a seventeenth-century interior filled with rich details. A cat playfully observes the chaotic scene while burglars take advantage of the couple's inebriation to carry out their misdeeds. This painting captures both the lightheartedness and stupidity often associated with excessive drinking during this era. It serves as a reminder of how alcohol could cloud judgment and leave individuals vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances. The composition showcases Steen's skill in portraying not only human figures but also intricate furniture and furnishings that were characteristic of Dutch interiors during this period. "The Drunken Couple" stands as an amusing testament to the Dutch love for indulgence and revelry while offering subtle commentary on societal issues such as robbery and intoxication.
