Who Painted This #45 - The Answer

The Kwaksalver / The Quack yesteryear January Steen
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

• Title of the artwork:  The Kwaksalver / The Quack
• Name of the creative mortal who created this artwork: Jan Havickszoon Steen (c.1626 – 1679) aka January Steen
• Date it was created: betwixt 1650 together with 1660
• Media used: oil on panel; Height 37.5 cm (14.8 in). Width: 52 cm (20.5 in)
• Where it lives now: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

This is a translation (via Google) of the description on the Rijksmuseum website - I've tidied upwardly the Google translation!

The quack. On a foursquare is a quack on a platform nether a large tree.  Hee shows the villagers the dial (or stone) that he has drawn from the human being tied to a chair. At the feet of the human being is a handbasket of eggs. On the tabular array are all kinds of bottles together with jars together with a document alongside a seal.  On the right inwards the foreground a adult woman pushes a drunkard human being inwards a wheelbarrow. On the far right hangs a violin on a pole on which is perched a  monkey alongside a pipe.

The icon was stolen from the Franz Hals Museum where it was on loan in March 2002.  It was on loan from the Rijksmuseum.  The thought at the fourth dimension was that it was stolen to order.  It was subsequently recovered inwards 2008 together with tin directly hold upwardly seen on the website of the rejvenated Rijksmuseum inwards Amsterdam.

If you lot hold off online you'll genuinely respect a lot of artists painted the Kwaksalver - an unauthorised practitioner of medicine together with dentistry. Quacks own got existed over centuries. In full general it's non together with hence much that they're non qualified to exercise together with hence much every bit they're applying useless remedies or aim to deceive. An example of quackery today would hold upwardly the "miracle diet".
