Enters Leiden University
Like Rembrandt, Steen attended the Latin school in Leiden; in 1646 he enrolled at the university — probably mainly for the privileges, such as exemption from military service and from excise on wine and beer; he was registered as an art student but did not finish his studies.

Together with Gabriël Metsu and other painters Steen joined the recently founded Guild of St Luke in Leiden.
