EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of revelry and merriment. "The Drunken Couple" by Jan Havicksz. Steen, created between 1655 and 1665, captures a moment of uninhibited joy amidst an era known for its strict social norms. The painting depicts a couple deeply engrossed in their own world of intoxication. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow draws our attention to the flushed faces and disheveled attire that betray their state of drunkenness. Their expressions exude pure bliss as they laugh uproariously, seemingly oblivious to the outside world. Steen's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate folds of fabric on their garments to the meticulously rendered glassware strewn about the room. This level of craftsmanship adds depth and realism to the composition, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully into this boisterous atmosphere. "The Drunken Couple" serves as a reminder that art has always been a reflection of society's various facets - both its virtues and vices. It invites us to ponder upon themes such as indulgence, escapism, and human connection through shared experiences. As we gaze at this artwork within museum walls or gallery spaces like Arkheia, it becomes clear that Steen's work continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation. Its timeless appeal lies not only in its technical brilliance but also in its ability to evoke
