"Lustige Gesellschaft in einer Schanke" (English: "Merry Company in a Tavern") is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Miense Molenaer. Painted circa 1630, this work exemplifies the convivial and often moralizing scenes for which Molenaer was known. The painting depicts a lively gathering of figures in a tavern, a common setting in 17th-century Dutch genre art that allowed artists to explore a range of human behaviors and social interactions.

In "Lustige Gesellschaft in einer Schanke," Molenaer showcases his skill in rendering the textures and expressions that bring the scene to life. The characters are typically engaged in drinking, smoking, and making music, activities associated with leisure and excess. The artist's use of chiaroscuro and attention to detail in the figures' costumes and the tavern's interior contribute to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene.

Molenaer's work often contained moral lessons about the consequences of indulgence and the virtues of moderation, reflecting the values of his contemporary society. "Lustige Gesellschaft in einer Schanke" may similarly serve as a cautionary depiction, inviting viewers to reflect on the pleasures and pitfalls of tavern life.

The painting is part of a broader tradition of genre painting in the Dutch Golden Age, which included artists such as Adriaen Brouwer, Jan Steen, and David Teniers the Younger, who also portrayed scenes of merriment with an underlying moral message. Molenaer's contribution to this tradition is significant for its combination of humor, social commentary, and artistic craftsmanship.
