Inspired by classical cultures - especially Greek - his paintings of elaborately decorated interiors and ornate garden scenes infuse realism with the beautiful and frightening, often using hidden symbolism from these civilizations.
As well as the influence of Balthus, Steen’s surfaces, colours, and pictorial language also point to the influence of the Venetian Renaissance, in particular Titian, Giorgione, and Bellini.
