In a merry company with Jan Steen

Aurora Tellenbach

Want to join Jan Steen and his merry family? Or maybe celebrate the Prince’s Day in his company?

Visiting the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam online, you can visit the very recognisable environments and take part in the mischievous parties that so often populate Steen’s paintings.

How to get there? Let me take you there:

· Google Streetview artsandculture.google.com — or click on the link:

· Scroll down to the round photo of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

· Click on Vermeer’s The Milkmaid in the bar below (oh, didn’t I say, they have plenty of Vermeer’s as well).

· Turn around. On the wall on the other side of the hall, that’s where you’ll find Jan Steen.

Now, let’s play Find Wally — Sorry, Find Jan! And his daughter!
