"So D'ouden Songen, So Piepen De Jongen" is a notable painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Jacob Jordaens, created in the 17th century. The title of the work is a Dutch proverb that translates to "As the old sing, so pipe the young," which is equivalent to the English saying, "As the old cock crows, so crows the young." The painting is a moralizing genre piece that reflects the cultural and social norms of the time, illustrating the idea that children will imitate the behavior of their elders.

Jacob Jordaens (1593–1678) was one of the most prominent painters and draughtsmen of the Flemish Baroque, alongside Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck. Jordaens is known for his dynamic compositions, robust figures, and a vivid use of color. His works often include lively scenes of everyday life, mythological themes, and allegorical subjects.

In "So D'ouden Songen, So Piepen De Jongen," Jordaens depicts a domestic scene where the family members are engaged in various activities. At the center of the composition, an elderly man is shown playing a musical instrument, likely a bagpipe, while the surrounding figures, including children, mimic his actions. The painting serves as a visual representation of the proverb, emphasizing the influence of adult behavior on the young, and the importance of setting a good example for the next generation.

The artwork is characterized by its rich palette, attention to detail, and the lively expressions of the figures. Jordaens' skillful handling of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the forms and contributes to the overall vibrancy of the scene. The painting not only showcases Jordaens' artistic talents but also provides insight into the moral and educational values of the 17th-century Flemish society.

"So D'ouden Songen, So Piepen De Jongen" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Jacob Jordaens. It is studied for its thematic content as well as its stylistic qualities that are representative of the artist's mature period. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the genre of moralizing scenes and continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts of Flemish Baroque art.
