    Over Thanksgiving break I attended The St. Louis Art Museum‚ or SLAM‚ as it is affectionately known by the locals. I focused on the Later European Art‚ especially from the Netherlands‚ because I find it captivating and unique. The first painting I studied was called Peasants Dancing in a Tavern by Adriaen van Ostade. The artwork was done in 1659 in the Netherlands as a genre scene. It shows a tavern scene in which peasants are dancing‚ drinking‚ singing and playing cards. It is a unique example
