  1. A Jan Steen Thanksgiving

    No, thanksgiving wasn’t celebrated in 17th-century Holland, but the painting by Jan Steen below presents a totally WTF meal that I’d love to attend!  Take a moment on this day of thanks to look closely at each figure in the painting and take in the mischief, the shenanigans, and the hilarity!  Happy Thanksgiving!
