A two-minute test
Dou or Steen?
ArtStudy players mixed these two up 6 times in the last 90 days. One clue is usually all it takes.
Gerrit Dou
Dou, the Leiden fijnschilder, paints tiny panels of miraculous finish — a figure framed in a stone window niche, candlelight, and every hair and thread polished smooth.
Jan Steen
Steen paints rowdy, comic household scenes packed with disorder, drink, and sly moral lessons.
Can you tell them apart?
One clue to notice, the two side by side, then three paintings you haven’t seen. No sign-up.
