EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a lively Dutch merrymaking scene from 1622. Painted by Adriaen Jansz. van Ostade, or attributed to him, this oil on copper artwork measures 31x44.3 cm and is currently housed in Calderdale Museums Service in West Yorkshire, UK. The image transports us back to a time of revelry and festivity, where men and women gather together in a public house. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and cheer as the merry crowd indulges in drink and celebration. Intriguingly, this painting also explores themes of sexuality and debauchery through its depiction of nudity within the tavern setting. It offers a glimpse into the uninhibited nature of these gatherings, where inhibitions are shed along with clothing. The artist skillfully captures the drunkenness that permeates the room; flushed faces reveal their intoxicated state while they raise their glasses high in camaraderie. This boisterous scene showcases both male and female participants engaging wholeheartedly in this raucous display. Through this remarkable piece, we are transported to an era when public houses served as hubs for communal revelry and unapologetic enjoyment. It serves as a testament to human nature's timeless pursuit of pleasure amidst good company. As we admire this stunning print from Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its ability to transport us back in time – reminding us that despite changing times
