48 the queen’s gallery.
Wouvermanns, and Heimskirk,) a party of four men and
one woman.
C. 1 ft. in. by 1 ft. 3 in. {Smith’s Cat. 190.)
TENIERS (David), (called sometimes the younger, to distinguish
him from his father, more frequently styled Old Teniers,) b. at
Antwerp, 1610; d. at Brussels, 1694.
[The class of subjects which Teniers studied, and in which he ex-
celled—the merry-makings of boors, village fairs, grotesque scenes of
common life, and the interiors of guard-rooms and surgeons’ shops,
&c.—become elevated and precious in our estimation, from the con-
summate skill with which he treated them, the humorous incident,
and the variety of character he introduced into them, and the un-
equalled delicacy and elegance of the execution. He was himself an
accomplished gentleman, living in affluent circumstances, yet seems
to have entered into all the jollity and vulgarity of plebeian and
peasant life with as much zest as intelligence. I have already ob-
served on one peculiar attraction in the pictures of Teniers—the con-
trast between the burlesque, low comedy, and sometimes utter vul-
garity, of his scenes and groups, and the spirituel elegance of the
treatment. This gallery affords an opportunity of studying him
fully in his earlier and later manner of execution and every different
style of his versatile pencil. See this painter more fully characterized
. in the First Series, pp. 148, 450.]
] 13 Four Boors—at a table, two of whom are playing at 1
cards. Painted in a light, clear, yet warm tone, and with
the most delicate and spirited touch, and executed, un-
doubtedly, between 1640 and 1647, therefore in the best
time of the master. As an example of one of his peculiar
merits—finished delicacy of execution—perhaps the most
perfect in this collection. Sent to Sir Francis Baring as
a present from Spain.
9 in. by 11 in. {Smith’s Cat. 491.)
114 A Village Fete.—About thirty-one figures. Near the 2
walls of a chateau, boors are dancing, the seigneur du vil-
lage and his family looking on. A most brilliant picture,
in which Teniers (who added to original genius the power
of imitating other masters with extraordinary skill) has, in
Wouvermanns, and Heimskirk,) a party of four men and
one woman.
