David Teniers may refer to three Flemish artists, father, son, and grandson:
- David Teniers the Elder (1582-1649), turned from large religious paintings to landscapes and genre scenes
- David Teniers the Younger (1610 - 1690), the most famous of the three, especially noted for genre scenes of peasant life
- David Teniers III (1638 - 1685), similar scenes to his father
Famous quotes containing the word david:
“Is it the lumberman, then, who is the friend and lover of the pine, stands nearest to it, and understands its nature best? Is it the tanner who has barked it, or he who has boxed it for turpentine, whom posterity will fable to have been changed into a pine at last? No! no! it is the poet.... All the pines shudder and heave a sigh when that man steps on the forest floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
