Who Painted This #45 - The Answer

The Kwaksalver / The Quack past times January Steen

• Title of the artwork:  The Kwaksalver / The Quack
• Name of the creative individual who created this artwork: Jan Havickszoon Steen (c.1626 – 1679) aka January Steen
• Date it was created: betwixt 1650 in addition to 1660
• Media used: oil on panel; Height 37.5 cm (14.8 in). Width: 52 cm (20.5 in)

This is a translation (via Google) of the description on the Rijksmuseum website - I've tidied upward 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 homo tied to a chair. At the feet of the homo is a handbasket of eggs. On the tabular array are all kinds of bottles in addition to jars in addition to a document amongst a seal.  On the right inwards the foreground a adult woman pushes a boozer homo inwards a wheelbarrow. On the far right hangs a violin on a pole on which is perched a  monkey amongst a pipe.

The prototype was stolen from the Franz Hals Museum where it was on loan in March 2002.  It was on loan from the Rijksmuseum.  The persuasion at the fourth dimension was that it was stolen to order.  It was subsequently recovered inwards 2008 in addition to tin instantly hold upward seen on the website of the rejvenated Rijksmuseum inwards Amsterdam.

If you lot hold off online you'll truly detect a lot of artists painted the Kwaksalver - an unauthorised practitioner of medicine in addition to dentistry. Quacks possess got existed over centuries. In full general it's non then much that they're non qualified to practise then much every bit they're applying useless remedies or aim to deceive. An event of quackery today would hold upward the "miracle diet".
