Teniers, tuh NEERZ or TEHN yurz, David, the Younger (1610-1690), was a Flemish painter. He painted peasants, alchemists, witches, soldiers, and the middle class, often showing these people working or enjoying festivals. Teniers's landscapes celebrate the virtues of idealized rural life. Teniers also painted religious subjects, especially the temptations of Saint Anthony. In addition, he created paintings that functioned as inventories of the rooms used as art galleries in wealthy homes.
