Pieter Snayers (1592 – 1666 or 1667) was a Flemish Baroque painter known for representations of historical battle scenes.〔Hans Vlieghe, ''(Flemish Art and Architecture 1585-1700 )'', New Haven: Yale University Press (1998): 173. ISBN 0-300-07038-1〕〔Carl van de Velde, "Snayers, Pieter" ''Grove Art Online''. Oxford University Press, (9 March 2008 ).〕 Born in Antwerp, he studied under Sebastiaen Vrancx before joining Antwerp's Guild of St. Luke in 1612.〔 By 1628, Snayers was a citizen in Brussels.〔Konrad Renger and Claudia Denk, ''Flämische Malerei des Barock in der Alten Pinakothek'', Munich: Pinakothek-DuMont (2002): 167. ISBN 3-8321-7255-6〕 There, he worked first for Archduchess Isabella,〔 and was later the court painter for Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand and Archduke Leopold Wilhelm.〔 For them he painted scenes of victorious battles in the tradition of sixteenth-century tapestries.〔 Snayers also collaborated with Peter Paul Rubens on several occasions, including the never-finished ''Life of Henry IV'' (1628–30) and the Torre de la Parada series (''c''. 1637–1640).〔 He also painted portraits of aristocracy in Brussels and large landscapes.〔 Snayers's best-known pupil was Adam Frans van der Meulen.〔 Snayers died at Brussels in 1666 or 1667. ==Battle scenes== Snayers' historical battle scenes demonstrate a close attention to topographic accuracy.〔 Frequently, his paintings show a shallow foreground that recedes sharply to show a besieged town from a bird's-eye perspective.〔 Stylistically, his colouring was more subdued than his teacher Vrancx and reflects contemporary trends in Flemish and Dutch painting.〔 Image:Schlacht am Weißen Berg C-K 063.jpg|''Battle of White Mountain''.
