The test is to see who can tell me what is wrong with this painting. The Dancing Couple, 1663, by Jan Steen.
Is it about the “symbolic” mess on the floor ? (broken eggs, cut flowers, bubbles, etc) or because they are smoking, flirting (old guy and young girl dancing) in front of children (sooo anti-PC)? Or for being the origin of the expression “Jan Steen’s Household” that describes any merry but messy home, in Holland ?
Weird! I didn't see the guy when I checked the first time … ???I hope it's not another restoration by Cecilia Gimenez!http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-19674622
Phid, don't say that the painting is actually the one hanging in your kitchen… :-[http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-26848889
Um, Aeth, as Scout noted, it's the B-Boy invading the turf of a seventeenth-century Dutch house party….and no, I don't have that one hanging in my kitchen. But perhaps this one….?A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, Georges Seurat, 1884
