David Teniers was one of the most famous 17th-century artist dipicting peasant life. He enjoyed international
popularity in his own lifetime and especially during the 18th century. Teniers's success was marked by the
acquisition of a country house in 1662 and by the grant in 1680 of a patent of nobility. His work was imitated by
many followers, including his son, David Teniers III.
Teniers was born in Antwerp and probably trained by his father, David Teniers the Elder. An important
influence for the young artist were works by Adrian Brower and than by the art if Rubens, who was a a witness
at Teniers' wedding. From the beggining Teniers produced a more refined version of Brouwer's peasant
scenes, and later created scenes of fashionable life. With time he also abandoned dark frank colour in favour of
a magic which is able to give his warm neutrals a suggestion of every sort of colour. The characteristic which
was influenced by his father-in-law Jan Breughel.
Teniers became a master in the guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp in 1632 or 1633. By 1649 he was probably
already working for the King of Spain, as well as for Prince William of Orange and the Governor of the
Netherlands, the Archduke Leopold William.
In 1651 Teniers moved to Brussels where Archduke Leopold
became his main employer. The archduke had assembled a famous collection of paintings, which became the
nucleus of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
This still life is not a characteristic and a rare work by the master. His work mostly consists of genre painting.
the 1640s. The subject, with its variety of still life and picturesque possibilities of illumination, waas very popular in Hollande of 17th century. Teniers gave it its
most sumptuous. The present painting is one of these genre paintings. It is not clear is it a still life or a genre painting, it is more kind of a view from the back kitchen to a tavern where two mer keep talking. But the foregournd is occupied by the utensils and a sleeping dog. All this sounds like illustrative features carelessly heaped up. All the objects, colours and textures have their compositional value, the light gives delicacy to every piece, no matter how old or old it can seem. Nothing could be shifted, taken away or added without some impairment of pictorial unity. Perhaps the picture should be regarded chiefly as a stunt-if so, a stunt magnificently carried off.

David Teniers the Younger
David Teniers the Younger was a 17th-century Flemish painter known for his luminous depictions of peasant life. His work was greatly influenced by the tavern scenes of Adriaen Brouwer and the fluid paint handling of Peter Paul Rubens. Born on December 15, 1610 in Antwerp, Belgium, he was the son of the artist David Teniers the Elder, with whom he studied as a youth. Notably, Teniers later married the daughter of the painter Jan Brueghel the Elder. In the early 1630s, the Haarlem-based painter Brouwer moved to Antwerp, Teniers exposure to his low-genre paintings was a turning point in his career. Over the following decades, he enjoyed a popular reputation around Europe. Though most of his works were modest in scale, he was a prolific artist and is thought to have completed some 2,000 paintings over the course of his career. Teniers died on April 25, 1690 in Brussels, Belgium. Today, his work can be found in the Louvre in Paris, the National Gallery of Art in London, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, among others.
