La Tentation de saint Antoine. This was a common development in Flemish painting at the time. These paintings show a radical move towards a more positive attitude towards country life and the peasantry than was reflected in his earlier satirical pieces influenced by Brouwer.

The peasant characters have lost their ungainly appearance and people from the higher social classes are now mixed in with the common people. The artist's new status as court painter of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm from may have contributed to this 'gentrification' of his work. This type of rural scene became very popular. In this later period Teniers also adopted a more painterly and looser style.

Teniers's scenes with peasants were so well known that compositions with this subject came to be called 'tenierkens' 'small teniers' and tapestries with peasant scenes were referred to as 'Teniers tapestries'. Only a few of these tapestries can be directly linked to works by Teniers. Teniers tapestries were particularly popular from the last third of the 17th century and well into the 18th century.

The Teniers tapestries were woven by many Brussels weavers and also in other centers such as Lille, Oudenaarde, Beauvais and Madrid. In the early s Teniers began to paint more landscape paintings and in these he developed his own pictorial language. He started to focus on the Flemish countryside as a subject in itself rather than solely as a backdrop to his outdoor peasant scenes.

In his landscapes he paid particular attention to the variegated light of the Flemish countryside in different weather conditions. In his River landscape with rainbow he included thin, dark clouds, with streaking sun rays piercing through rain and a rainbow in the left background. Along with Rubens, Teniers was among the first Flemish 17th-century artists to include rainbows in his compositions, not for their religious or allegorical meaning, but rather as another means by which to showcase his careful study of nature.

Other examples of this include other works from the mids such as The Reaping Hermitage Museum. Although he did not intend these works to be topographically accurate, he spent a lot of time sketching in the countryside. This explains why certain motifs recur in his landscape oeuvre. In the s Teniers started to paint pastoral scenes. It is likely that the increased prominence of rural life and nature in his work of that period was connected to his purchase of Drij Toren, a country house in Perk in which he maintained a studio.

In contrast to the sophisticated compositions he painted as a court painter, the landscapes he painted at Perk stand out by their simplicity. They expressed an Arcadian view of life in the countryside and eulogized the advantages of a peaceful existence on the land. He presented the rural life as happy and carefree. Teniers's interest in pastoral paintings has been linked to his ambition to be elevated to the nobility.

Agriculture and animal husbandry were regarded as proper occupations of the nobility. An estate in the countryside was therefore a necessary part of the status of nobles of that time. Teniers painted his own country estate several times. He paid homage to Rubens by including Rubens' nearby estate called Het Steen in the far distance. He depicted himself in the picture as a country gentleman , who through his graceful bearing and costly clothing sets himself apart from the servants and toiling peasants in the picture.

Teniers also made many paintings of other chateaux and estates. Only a few of the chateaux and estates he represented in these paintings are of known estates. It is believed that they are imaginary creations intended to present a generic view of what a country estate should look like: large, stately and dominating the countryside around it.

These paintings often include depictions of the tenant farmers who pay deference to their masters. They thus give expression to the prevalent worldview of the ruling class of his day, of which Teniers aspired to be a part, which was that the good and humble peasant would always show reverence to his noble lord. Teniers painted 10 paintings representing the collection of the Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in Brussels.

Of these only three are dated. Nine are painted on canvas and one on copper. The paintings are believed to depict a fictitious space rather than the actual location of the Archduke's collection in his Brussels palace. The paintings shown in them, however, are known to have formed part of the Archducal collection. Teniers's paintings of the Archduke's collection fall into a genre referred to as 'gallery paintings' or 'pictures of collections'.

Gallery paintings typically depict large rooms in which many paintings and other precious items are displayed in elegant surroundings. Antwerp artists Jan Brueghel the Elder and Frans Francken the Younger were the first to create paintings of art and curiosity collections in the s. Teniers played an important role in the development of the genre of gallery paintings and his midth-century gallery paintings of the collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm are among the most famous examples of the genre.

These paintings expressed the Early Modern culture of curiosity, in which art works and scientific instruments were mixed together in so-called cabinets of curiosities. The persons populating the galleries in these early works are 'virtuosi' who appear as keen to discuss scientific instruments as to admire an artwork. Teniers transformed the genre in the mid 17th century by moving away from the depiction of cabinets of curiosities to depicting art galleries, and in particular the collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm.

In the final, 'late' phase of the genre from c. The only other dated gallery painting by Teniers is dated The fact that the other gallery paintings of Teniers are not dated has made it difficult to establish a chronology and evolution of his work in this genre. Two of the ten known gallery paintings with Archduke Leopold Wilhelm have similar compositions and include the same paintings: the large, undated canvas in the Kunsthistorisches Museum likely followed the equally large painting dated in Petworth House.

The others are all independently composed and display different works or when the same works are included they are hung in a different order. Teniers strove in these paintings to arrive at a visual survey of the collection. Some of the paintings show the Archduke visiting the collection accompanied by courtiers and other art collectors.

Teniers included in some a portrait of himself apparently in the act of providing his patron some explanation on a particular work of art in the collection. It is likely that these gallery paintings of the Archduke's collection were painted to memorialize and eulogize it and anyone associated with it. This was unusual for a picture of such a large size and was presumably done so that the Archduke could send it as a present to Philip IV of Spain.

His secondary intention may have been to demonstrate to the King that his collection in Brussels could emulate the King's collection in Madrid. As in the 17th century the power of a prince was no longer judged solely based on his military success, but even more so on his taste in, and appreciation of, art, the Archduke thus wanted to show that he could hold his own against the King.

Teniers also painted a few gallery paintings showing artists at work or cognoscenti inspecting a collection. An example is A picture gallery with two men examining a seal and a red chalk drawing, and a monkey present At Sotheby's New York, 24 January , lot These gallery paintings are heavy with symbolism and allegory and are a reflection of the intellectual preoccupations of the age, including the cultivation of personal virtue and the importance of connoisseurship.

They accentuate the notion that the powers of discernment associated with connoisseurship are socially superior to or more desirable than other forms of knowing. The drawing is clearly a pun on the popular 'art as the ape of nature' present in many pictures of collections through the inclusion of a monkey among the art lovers. During his tenure as keeper of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm's collection, Teniers undertook the preparation and publication of the first ever illustrated catalog of old master paintings.

The title page of the book refers to it as 'Hoc Amphiteatrum Picturarum' 'This amphitheatre of pictures'. The title page clarifies that Teniers funded the publication project out of his own pocket. The last edition was published in The publication comprised engravings of important Italian paintings in the art collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm.

While the project was initially planned to include the entire collection of the Archduke, the Archduke returned to Vienna before the project was completed. As a result, ultimately only a series of plates was produced, of which depicted about half of the Italian paintings then owned by the Archduke. In the preparation of this project, Teniers first painted reduced modelli after the original works on panels of roughly 17 by 25 in dimensions.

These were then engraved on the same scale by a pool of 12 engravers. This could mean that he intended these reproductions to function as independent records of some of these Italian paintings in the Archduke's collection. From the many modelli, which have been preserved, it is obvious that Teniers's copies constitute a true record of the originals even while he left out details and painted them in his typical fluid and transparent manner.

The engraving of the catalog by engravers who worked after the modelli, not the originals, was started by As a result, most of the prints in the catalog are reverse images of the originals. Some editions also indicated the original dimensions of the paintings. Teniers's modelli and the Theatrum pictorium serve as a record for some important paintings the whereabouts of which are currently unknown.
