"Wie die Alten sungen, so pfeifen auch die Jungen," translated to "As the Old Sing, So Pipe the Young," is a renowned 17th-century painting by Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens. Created circa 1638-1640, this work is a prime example of Jordaens' vibrant and dynamic style, which often incorporated lively scenes of everyday life infused with moralizing themes and proverbs. The painting is housed in the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Gemäldegalerie, in Berlin, Germany.

The artwork depicts a boisterous family scene where multiple generations engage in a feast, with the central activity being the making of music. The proverb from which the painting takes its title suggests that the younger generation will imitate the behavior of their elders, a theme that Jordaens explored in several variations throughout his career. The composition is rich with allegorical content and serves as a reflection on education, family values, and the transmission of cultural and social norms.

Jordaens, a contemporary of Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, was one of the leading figures of the Flemish Baroque movement. Although he never traveled to Italy, as many of his contemporaries did, his work was heavily influenced by the Italian masters, as well as by Rubens, with whom he collaborated on several occasions. "Wie die Alten sungen, so pfeifen auch die Jungen" is emblematic of Jordaens' robust and earthy depictions of peasant life, and it showcases his skill in rendering textures, expressions, and the effects of light.

This painting is particularly noted for its vivid characterization and the sense of movement and life that pervades the scene. The figures are rendered with a sense of individuality and engagement, suggesting a narrative that extends beyond the canvas. Jordaens' use of color and adept brushwork contribute to the overall impact of the piece, making it a significant work within his oeuvre and a valuable example of genre painting in the Baroque period.
