TENIERS, DAVID, the younger, born in Antwerp, baptized Dec. 15, 1610, died at Perck, near Brussels, April 25, 1690. Flem- ish school ; genre, landscape, and portrait painter, son and pupil of David the elder ; developed under the influence of Rubens, and especially of Brouwer. Master of Ant- werp guild in 1632, its dean in 1644-45, was made court painter to Archduke Leopold I Wilhelm, governor of the Netherlands, and j settled, between 1648 and 1652, in Brus- sels, where he was received into the guild in 1675. He was the prime mover in the foundation of the Antwerp Academy in 1663. Equally favoured by Leopold Wil- helm 's suc- cessor, Don Juan of Austria, who is said to have studied under him ; he received important commis- sions from Philip IV. of Spain, and marks of esteem from Queen Christina of Sweden and the great in England and other coun- tries. The Count of Fuensaldana sent him I to England to buy works by the Italian masters. He holds the first position among the genre painters of Flanders. Picturesque arrangement, exquisite harmony of colour- ing in all details, and a light and sparkling touch characterize his pictures, in which ! two periods may be distinguished the ear- lier, up to 1640, in which a somewhat heavy brown tone prevails, gradually attaining, up to 1644, a luminous golden tone, and the later, up to 1660, in which he changed into a cool silvery hue ; after that he again adopted a decided golden tone. In 1660 he published in Brussels a work containing about 200 engravings of pictures of the Italian and Flemish schools in the Arch- duke's gallery, executed from small copies made by himself from the originals. Of these copies 120 were sold in the Blenheim Palace sale (1886) for 2,002 10s. Works : Music Party, Boors Regaling, The Money- Changers.
