Abraham Teniers (1 March 1629 – 26 September 1670) was a member of the Flemish artist family Teniers who specialized in genre paintings of villages, inns and monkey scenes.〔(Abraham Teniers ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 ==Life== Abraham Teniers was born in Antwerp on 1 March 1629 as the son of the prominent genre painter David Teniers the Elder and Dymphna Cornelisse de Wilde.〔John (Maria Huibert) Vermoelen, ''Notes historiques sur David Teniers et sa famille'', J.-B. Dumoulin, Paris, 1870, p. 12 〕 Three of his brothers were also painters: David the Younger (1610–90) who became the most successful of the Teniers painting dynasty, Juliaan III (1616–79) and Theodoor (1619–97).〔 Hans Vlieghe. "Teniers." Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press. Web. 5 January 2015〕 Abraham Teniers likely trained with his father and older brother David.〔〔(Biography of Abraham Teniers ) at the Museo del Prado site 〕 He was admitted as a ‘wijnmeester’ (i.e. son of a master) in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1646.〔 Abraham married Isabelle de Roore on 16 July 1644. He was a member of the local Schutterij (militia).〔 He was active in the local Chamber of rhetoric called the 'Olyftack' ('Olive branch') where he was received as a captain in 1660.〔J. B. Van Der Staelen Peeters, ''Geschiedenis der Antwerpsche rederykkamers. 1: Geschiedenis der violieren'', 1834, p. 81 〕 Like his brother David before him, Abraham found appreciation at the court in Brussels and the art-loving Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria – then the governor of the Southern Netherlands and a resident of Brussels – appointed him as court painter.〔 Abraham died in Antwerp.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abraham Teniers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
