About the Item

Man Smoking on a Barrel Circle of David Teniers the Younger 1610-1690 Oil on oak panel Image size: 9 1/2 x12 1/2 inches (23.5 x 32 cm) Handmade contemporary frame Here in this tavern scene, a man is pictured lighting his pipe while sitting on the corner of an upturned barrel. Meanwhile, in the background, another man is seen leaning against the wall to stabilise himself. The earthy toned room exudes a cold and dreary ambience, with details obscured by the hazy brown hue of the walls. In the lower right of the background, a lit fire flickers, casting a warm glow, its weak force failing to reach the rest of the room. Jugs are scattered between the table and the floor besides the fire adding to the tavern setting. On the back wall a sketch of a man stands out on cream paper, stark against the dark walls. The sketched figure gazing down at the man leaning against the wall, in the melancholy scene. David Teniers the Younger Born in Antwerp, Teniers was a Flemish Baroque painter, printmaker, draughtsman, copyist and art curator. He was the son of David Teniers the Elder, an altarpiece painter and had three brothers who also became painters. Teniers studied under his father with the two collaborating to create a series of twelve panels recounting stories from Torquato Tasso’s epic Gerusalemme Liberata. After the Arrest of his father due to debts, Teniers became a copyist in order to support the family and between 1632-1633 he was registered as the son of a master in the Antwerp guild of Saint Luke. He was best known for his peasant genre in which he captured tavern scenes as well as alchemists and physicians, he was also known for his miniaturist and staffage paintings. In 1636, Teniers was invited to participate as an assistant to Rubens following a commission from King Philip IV of Spain to create a series of mythological paintings to decorate the Torre de la Parada, a hunting lodge near Madrid. Teniers was also commissioned to make a picture after Ruben’s design but this painting is considered lost. Teniers married into the famous Brueghel artist family when Anna Brueghel, the daughter of Jan Brueghel the Elder became his wife on the 22nd of July 1637. Rubens, who had been the guardian of Anna Brueghel after her fathers death, was a witness to the wedding. It was through this marriage that Teniers was able to create a close relationship with Rubens and Rubens second wife Helene Fourment became godmother to their first child. Teniers later became a court painter and the curator of the collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, moving to Brussels for the job. He collected a large amount of works for the Archduke’s collection including many that had been confiscated from the collections of Charles I of England and his Jacobite supporters including around 400 works previously owned by James Hamilton, 1st Duke of Hamilton. During his time Teniers collected works from Titian, Raphael, Giorgione as well as Northern artists such as Hans Holbein the Younger and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The collection is what formed the foundation of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Teniers played an important role in the development of the genre of gallery paintings and his mid-17th century gallery paintings of the collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm are among the most famous examples of the genre. During his time with the Archduke, Teniers also created and published the first ever illustrated catalogue of old master paintings. Additionally, he contributed to the spread of the genre of the ‘monkey scene’ also known as ‘singerie’ which were comical scenes of monkeys in human clothes and environments that became popular in the 16th and 17th century throughout the Netherlands. Teniers founded the Antwerp Academy, where young artists were trained to draw and sculpt in the hope of reviving Flemish art after its decline following the death of the leading Flemish artists Rubens and Anthony van Dyck in the early 1640s. He influenced the next generation of Northern genre painters as well as French Rococo painters such as Antione Watteau.
