Joy & Disorder

In this lively Slow Art video, Jan Steen’s The Dancing Couple comes to life in layers of color, movement, and subtle mischief. A young pair dances at the heart of a bustling tavern, surrounded by musicians, drinkers, and flirtations. Steen’s scene overflows with joy, yet chaos simmers beneath the cheer. Every figure tells a story, every gesture a moral clue. This work can be seen at [The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.,https://www.nga.gov/artworks/1220-dancing-couple].
