Age rough couple

Medium: oil on board
Location: Liege University, Liege, Belgium

The painting depicts a scene apparently from the 16th or 17th century, where a man in a Munich robe bends over a woman, holding her chin and trying to kiss her. Her expression is rather embarrassed and ironic. On the table in front of them are several dishes, including slices of lemon, bread and perhaps some oysters or other seafood. A man's stalking face can be seen in the background.

Quentin Massys (1464-1530) A Dutch master who was born into a family of blacksmiths and watchmakers. According to the wishes of his father, he also became a blacksmith. It is said, however, that he fell in love with the daughter of a painter from Antwerp and feared that his chosen love would not want a simple blacksmith. On the other hand, it is also said that he was too weak for the hard work of a blacksmith. Before he left for his love, he allegedly forged a well in front of the Antwerp cathedral. He painted mostly paintings with religious themes - Jesus Chasing the Merchants from the Temple. His work, such as the painting Ill-Matched Marriage s, is so heavily melancholy and grotesquely bizarre that it was often misunderstood. He was a good friend of Durer. Several of his relatives died because of their faith - his sister was buried alive, her husband beheaded. Massys died in Antwerp and, in his honour, asteroid 9569 was named Quentinmatsijs.
