Beware of Luxury
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jan Havicksz Steen is a captivating snapshot of 17th-century Dutch domestic life, filled with intriguing details that offer a glimpse into the moral complexities of the era. This large-scale print, measuring 105x145 cm, now resides in the esteemed Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The chaotic scene depicted within this artwork presents a dissolute household where indulgence and disorder reign supreme. A drunken man plays his violin while others revel in their own vices – smoking, eating excessively, and even sleeping amidst the chaos. An infant sits unattended on a high chair as an unruly spaniel snatches at a pie nearby. Steen's masterful composition invites viewers to explore every corner of this topsy-turvy world. A mischievous monkey perches atop an overturned globe, symbolizing how luxury can turn one's world upside down. Meanwhile, a child gleefully imitates adult behavior by puffing on a pipe. Through "Beware of Luxury". Steen warns against succumbing to worldly temptations and losing oneself in debauchery. The artist uses humor and irony to convey deeper moral messages about self-control and moderation. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Art offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to delve into the intricate details that make up Steen's narrative-rich masterpiece. It serves as both an aesthetic delight and thought-provoking commentary on human nature throughout history.
