In this fascinating exploration of Jan Steen's The Drawing Lesson , John Walsh offers an explanation of the individual parts and larger patterns of the work, allowing us to see how each prop and pose contributes to the larger theme--the art of painting and the education of the artist. He also recounts Steen's career and the history of the picture itself, presenting, in sum, not only an examination of a fine painting but also a lesson in how to look at and "read" a complex work of art.

Description: "lear, solid, palpable—this is the world of the Dutch painters of the seventeenth century, a world in which the surfaces and scenes of everyday life are rendered with impeccable care and illuminated by clear, soft light. Through the countless reproductions of the works of painters like de Hooch and Vermeer, these scenes have become intimately familiar: servants at their kitchen chores; women reading, daydreaming, or playing music; risque and often riotous scenes in bedrooms or inns. Jan Steen's The Drawing Lesson is one of the finest and most intriguing examples of the art of the Netherlands in its Golden Age. Through the interior Steen creates is familiar, the subject—a celebration of the art of the painter—is unusual and only subtly announced. In this fascinating exploration of The Drawing Lesson, John Walsh offers an explanation of the individual parts and larger patterns of the work, allowing us to see how each prop and pose contribute to the larger theme—the art of painting and the education of the artist. He also recounts Steen's career and a history of the picture itself, presenting, in sum, not only an examination of a fine painting but a lesson in how to look at and read a complex work of art."--with a bonus offer--
