Expertise
A certificate from Dr Margaret Klinge, dated 27 July 1992, endorsing the attribution to Teniers.
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.

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.

- Dutch School, 17th Century, Shipping in a Stiff Breeze, a City BeyondLocated in Stockholm, SEWe are delighted to present a significant piece from the Dutch School, most likely dating back to the late 17th century. This captivating painting showcases the dynamic force of nature with three ships vigorously navigating through stormy waters. The foreground is a scene of nautical struggle, as figures are depicted working intensely with the sails, steering, and bracing against the tumultuous sea. In the serene background, the silhouette of a quaint town emerges, with spires from churches and the outlines of various buildings is visible. This juxtaposition of the calm town against the chaotic foreground serves as a powerful reminder of the unpredictability of life and nature. Dominating the canvas, the sky occupies two-thirds of the painting, filled with brooding clouds that occasionally break to reveal patches of blue. The presence of birds adds a dynamic element to the otherwise ominous atmosphere. While the artist remains unknown, the work is quintessentially Dutch in its execution, with meticulous attention to detail and a profound understanding of maritime life. The painting's oval shape is quite distinctive and is complemented by a suitably antique octagonal black frame, which adds to its historical charm. This piece is a testament to the mastery of Dutch maritime painting...Category
