MOLENAER, Jan Miense Dutch painter (b. ca. 1610, Haarlem, d. 1668, Haarlem).
Dutch painter and draughtsman. The surprisingly large oeuvre of this remarkably versatile genre painter displays an inventive symbolism, wit and humour, which identify him as the true forerunner of Jan Steen. Hospitality refused to Oil on panel. Antwerpen, Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten.
