ABSTRACT
This chapter is concerned with seventeenth-century artists. Despite the fact that David the Younger produced several thousand paintings in his long career, there are very few instances of his collaborating with other artists. David the Younger collaborated in a few instances with the landscapist, Jacques d'Arthois. If David the Younger was a failure as a teacher, which he seems to have been, he did have an appreciable influence on the several members of his family who were also artists. Teniers collaborated on many occasions with Jan van Kessel, a flower specialist. One of these works is a small Temptations of St. Anthony in a Flower Garland, Plate 40, again from Brussels. David the Younger's pleasant genres and interesting drolleries prompted a large number of seventeenth-century artists to imitate his style and iconography. David Teniers III may be included among the followers of David the Younger although his connection with his father is indeed slight.
