EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the joyous celebration of St. Nicholas feast inside a family's home. The scene is filled with excitement and laughter as everyone revels in the festivities. In the center, a young girl lovingly holds a John the Baptist doll while clutching a bucket overflowing with candy, her face beaming with delight. To the left, we see a boy shedding tears after discovering a roe placed in his shoe by St. Nicholas himself, an amusing tradition that brings both surprise and laughter to children on this special day. Standing next to him is their mother, arms outstretched in warm embrace, accompanied by another boy who happily brandishes a butt stick. On the floor lies a basket brimming with delectable cakes and sandwiches, tempting all those present to indulge in these delicious treats. Meanwhile, some young people gather around the chimney singing Santa Claus songs merrily. In the background stands an older man and woman who appear moved by nostalgia or perhaps reminiscing about their own cherished memories of past St. Nicholas celebrations. This artwork painted by Jan Havicksz Steen between 1665-1668 showcases not only the customs associated with this festive occasion but also highlights themes of family unity and shared happiness during this enchanting time of year.
