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.
