The Satyr And The Peasant (Jordaens)
''The Satyr and the Peasant'' or ''The Satyr and the Peasant Family'' is the title commonly given to a number of paintings executed by the Flemish Baroque painter Jacob Jordaens and his workshop based on the fable of the Satyr and the Traveller, the Satyr and the Peasant from Aesop's Fables, Aesop's ''Fables''. Jordaens returned regularly to this subject from his earliest active years until his mature period around 1650. In his treatment of the subject, he combines two of the painting genres in which he excelled: mythological painting and the peasant genre. His various interpretations of the subject and the many repetitions of these works by his workshop and followers popularized the theme which was then taken up by Flemish and Dutch painters such as Jan Cossiers and Jan Steen.Kimberlee Cloutier Blazzard, "The Wise Man has two tongues: Images of the Satyr and the Peasant in Jordaens and Steen", in Myth in History, History in Myth, Brill, Boston, 2009, pp. 87-115 The story backgro ...
