Bartholomeus Molenaer

Bartholomeus Molenaer is a Dutch Golden Age artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Nationalmuseum.

Bartholomeus Molenaer painted lively Dutch life in the 1600s. His Peasants Playing Blind Man’s Buff shows rowdy village fun with barrels and bonnets in the background. Peasants in the Tavern piles in mugs, coins, and chatter under a low wooden roof.

He stuck to scenes of regular people, no kings or saints here. Tap into his tavern crowd to feel the noise and warmth of that era yourself.
