EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Jan Havicksz Steen's painting "Les paresseux (The idlers)" in all its vibrant and detailed glory. This masterpiece, created around 1660, is a prime example of Dutch Baroque art and can be found at the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. In this scene, we are transported to a cozy Dutch household where laziness seems to reign supreme. The composition is filled with various elements that depict the indulgent nature of the characters portrayed. A man lounges on a chair, his pipe resting beside him as he takes a nap, while a woman sits nearby engrossed in her own thoughts. The room itself exudes disorder and decadence; empty bottles litter the floor alongside discarded shoes. The presence of alcohol suggests an underlying theme of alcoholism or excessive drinking within society during this time period. Steen skillfully incorporates symbolism throughout the painting, hinting at moral decay and societal issues. The inclusion of tobacco further emphasizes these vices associated with idleness and slothfulness. Through his masterful use of color and attention to detail, Steen invites us into this everyday scene that serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of succumbing to one's desires without restraint. "Les paresseux" reminds us that even in mundane moments, there lies deeper meaning waiting to be discovered.
