About the piece
Painted in 1697 by Jan Erasmus Quellinus, this formal portrait captures Johannes Chrysostomus Teniers in his ecclesiastical splendor. The subject is depicted in luminous white robes that provide a dramatic contrast to the moody, deep-toned background, exemplifying the refined portraiture and masterful drapery work of the late Flemish Baroque period.
