David Teniers the Younger (1610-1690) was a Flemish painter, print-maker, draughtsman, miniaturist painter, staff-age painter, copyist and art curator. He was an extremely versatile artist known for his prolific output. He was an innovator in a wide range of genres such as history, genre, landscape, portrait and still life. He is now best remembered as the leading Flemish genre painter of his day. Teniers is particularly well-known for developing the peasant genre, the tavern scene, pictures of collections and scenes with alchemists and physicians.
