About the piece
Painted around 1690 by David Teniers the Younger, this work depicts the brick-making industry near Hemiksem. The composition skillfully balances the human activity of the foreground with the architectural presence of St Bernard's Abbey and a characteristically dramatic sky, typical of the Golden Age of Flemish landscape painting.
