Juliaen Teniers or Juliaan Teniers ( Antwerp 1572–1615) [1] was a Flemish painter of figures and flower pieces. He was a member of the extended Teniers family of painters. [2]
He was born in Antwerp as the son of Juliaan Teniers, originally from Ath and his father's second wife Joanna van Maelbeke. His father was a successful silk merchant who owned a house on the Handschoenmarkt in Antwerp. David had one sister and four brothers of whom David Teniers the Elder became a successful painter. He was the uncle of David Teniers the Younger. [2]
He married Suzanna Coignet, the sister of the painter Gillis II Coignet on 23 April 1595. [1] The couple had at least three children: Jan Baptist, Melchior en Joanna. [3]
Juliaan Teniers became a master of the Guild of St. Luke in 1595 and he joined the Gilde van de Armenbus (Guild of the Poor Box), a sort of collective insurance pool for artists in need which also played a social role. [4] He and his wife lived in the Koningstraat until 1597, when they bought the house De Roos in the Vaartstraat. [2] Between 1595 and 1608 he had at least eleven pupils, of whom only Gaspar van den Hoecke and his half brother David the Elder still have any claim to fame. [5]
Juliaan Teniers died shortly before 11 March 1615. [6]
He was known as a figure painter and painter of flower pieces. [2] Together with David Juliaan painted scenes for plays performed during the Joyous Entry of the Archdukes in Antwerp. [7] His paintings are deemed lost and only known through inventories. [8] These inventories also make clear that he sometimes cooperated with Joos de Momper and Claes van Cleve. [9]
