EDITORS COMMENTS
In this painting titled "Easy come, easy go" by Jan Havicksz Steen, we are transported to the vibrant world of 17th-century Holland. The artwork, created in 1661 and now housed in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, showcases Steen's mastery of genre scenes. The scene depicts a group of individuals engrossed in a game of backgammon or tric trac. The artist skillfully captures their expressions and body language, conveying the intensity and excitement that comes with gambling. With meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Steen brings life to every detail - from the intricately designed board to the dice being rolled. Through this painting, Steen explores themes of illusion and deception. The title itself suggests that fortunes can change rapidly - what is gained today may be lost tomorrow. This sentiment is echoed not only through the game being played but also through subtle hints within the composition. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded of how games have always been an integral part of human culture - providing entertainment as well as moments for reflection on life's uncertainties. Jan Havicksz Steen's "Easy come, easy go" invites us to ponder our own relationship with luck and chance while marveling at his technical brilliance as a painter.
