EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Children's Meal" created by Jan Havicksz Steen in approximately 1665, we are transported to a serene and heartwarming scene of family life. Set in a cozy living room, the artist beautifully captures the essence of childhood innocence and domestic bliss. At the center of the image, we see a covered table adorned with bowls of steaming soup, symbolizing nourishment and comfort. Seated around it are two children - a boy and a girl - their faces radiating joy as they eagerly await their meal. The boy's boyish face reflects his youthful exuberance while the girl emanates tenderness. The motherly love is palpable as she lovingly serves her children, embodying the timeless bond between parent and child. The painting showcases an idyllic moment frozen in time, where happiness resides within simple pleasures like sharing a meal together. Steen's masterful use of oil on wood brings depth and richness to every detail, capturing not only the physical surroundings but also evoking emotions that resonate with viewers across generations. "The Children's Meal" is an exquisite example of genre art from Holland during the Baroque period. It invites us into a world where peace reigns supreme amidst everyday routines. This fine art piece found its rightful place in Nivaagaards Malerisamling collection for all to appreciate its beauty and reflect upon cherished moments spent with loved ones during our own childhoods or those we hold dear today.
