"As the Old Sing, So Pipe the Young is an exemplary piece of 17th-century European art, created by renowned Flemish artist, Jacob Jordaens (3–1678). The painting, suspected to have been completed between 1638 and 1640, exemplifies Jordaens' distinct style which paralleled, and often intersected with, the prominent Baroque movement of the time.

Named for the Dutch proverb which translates to "As the old have sung, so must the young chirp," the painting presents a rich tableau that echoes the sentiment of the saying. Serving as an allegory about the transfer of habits and attitudes between generations, Jordaens depicts a multigenerational family in mid-celebration, gathered around a grand feast. At the fore, one can see a young boy blowing a trumpet-like instrument, overlooked by an older figure, who is itself a representation of the artist's incorporation of moralistic motifs into his works.

The painting showcases Jordaens' consistent interest in domestic, everyday life and his keen talent for genre painting. His use of vibrant, saturated colors and a dynamic play of light and shadow emphasizes the jovial, yet instructional, atmosphere in the scene. The deliberate spatial arrangements of the figures in the painting serve to create a sense of depth, typical of Baroque influence, while his nuanced portrayal of expressions offers a glimpse into the emotional reality of his subjects.

Currently, "As the Old Sing, So Pipe the Young" is housed within the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, located in Houston, Texas, USA, where it continues to be a significant exhibit, commemorating the artistic genius of Jacob Jordaens.

Although the painting is widely celebrated for its artistic brilliance and thematic richness, it is important to note that scholarly interpretations might differ based on individual analysis and socio-cultural contexts of the times.
