Juliaen Teniers or Juliaan Teniers (Antwerp 1572–1615) was a Flemish painter and one of the members of the extended Teniers family of painters.

Life

Juliaan Teniers was born in Antwerp. He was the half-brother of David Teniers the Elder and the uncle of David Teniers the Younger. He married Suzanna Coignet, the sister of the painter Gillis II Coignet on 23 April 1595.[1] He had at least three children: Jan Baptist, Melchior en Joanna.[2]

Juliaan Teniers became a master of the Guild of St. Luke in 1595 and he joined the Armenbus.[3] He and his wife lived in the Koningstraat until 1597, when they bought the house De Roos in the Vaartstraat.[4] 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]

Work

Together with David Juliaan painted scenes for plays performed during the Joyous Entry of the Archdukes in Antwerp.[7] His paintings are only known through inventories,[8] which make clear that he sometimes cooperated with Joos de Momper and Claes van Cleve.[9]
