 Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria in his Gallery by TENIERS, David the Younger
In 1646 Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria was appointed Governor of the Low Countries and took up residence at the Coudenberg Palace in Brussels.
In 1651 Teniers was appointed court painter and curator of the Archduke's gallery.
It is not difficult to identify these masterpieces, which the Archduke took with him to Vienna when he left Brussels in 1656, as Teniers was careful to indicate the artist on each picture frame.

His new patron was the Habsburg Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, cousin of King Philip IV of Spain.
The Archduke’s single most important acquisition was of more than 500 paintings from the Duke of Hamilton, who was executed in 1649 and whose collection rivaled that of the King in quality.
Having first documented Leopold Wilhelm’s collection in these gallery pictures, Teniers embarked on an even more ambitious representation of his patron’s achievements as a collector: an illustrated catalogue of 243 of the Archduke’s most admired Italian paintings.

As part of the introduction to this oil painting, Berger touts Wilhelm as “the sort of man in the seventeenth century for whom painters painted their paintings.” During this period in history, a man’s status in society was mainly measured by his possessions, which were an indication of power and wealth.
In the portrait of the Archduke, right away the observer is drawn not to the small crowd of spectators in the foreground, but to the massive collection of paintings that serve as a wall-like obstruction within the main work of art.
Although the Archduke is a wealthy aristocrat living the good life, in some ways the portrait struck me as a portrayal of emptiness.

This painting dated 1647, now in the Prado collection in Madrid, was sent by the Archduke Leopold, who became the Governor of the Spanish Netherlands in 1646, to his cousin Philip IV, the king of Spain.
Teniers served as the court painter for Leopold as such he was given responsibility to paint and buy paintings and to serve as the curator of the collection of the Archduke.
This was manifested by the selection of the Archduke as the godfather to Teniers sixth child and the special gifts Teniers received from his patron.

The painting depicts the archduke looking benevolently at the pictures, which occupy the walls from floor to ceiling.
The duke may be buying his next masterpiece or planning investments, as he's heading in the direction of the table with a piece of paper in hand and looking at the painting, which hasn’t been yet placed on the wall.
In 1658 the archduke could be accompanied by two fashionable dogs and surely the other people did not mind their presence.

Hans Vlieghe investigates the patronage of archduke Leopold-Wilhelm (1614-1662) during his time as governor of the Southern Netherlands, from 1647 until 1656 (61-90).
When the archduke had himself portrayed he preferred being painted in full armor, thus combining the religious and the worldly aspects as Miles Christianus.
The artists from whom Arenberg purchased paintings were Paul de Vos, Frans Snyders, Gaspar de Crayer, and Salomon Noveliers, court painter to the archdukes in Brussels.

 Antwerp Conference   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
My discussion is concerned with the values that can be attached to these little works during a period in which the status of the copy was contested, as an aspect of the broader crisis in visual representation articulated by iconoclasm.
The engagement here is with Italy, and my paper argues that the sketch-like character of the copies places Teniers not in the realm of mechanical reproduction but amongst the ambitious northern painters for whom a personal dialogue with this locus of authority was a way of defining their own art.
Teniers's extraordinary group of paintings of Leopold Wilhelm's collection, which show mostly Italian works, can be seen to enact a similar dialogue, and there is a print in the Theatrum Pictorium which is extremely reminiscent of these compositions.

 David Teniers and the Theatre of Painting at Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery | Art Knowledge News
Teniers’ painted copies have long been recognized as a valuable historical resource, particularly since many pictures in the Archduke’s collection, including most famously Giorgione’s The Three Philosophers, were altered during a reinstallation of the Viennese collections in the 18th century, while others have been lost altogether.
Measuring approximately 17 x 25 cm and executed in full color, these copies are works of great beauty and skill in their own right, and they show Teniers’ profound interest in the achievements of his illustrious predecessors.
The exhibition will further include Teniers’ little-known painted design for the frontispiece of the Theatrum showing a portrait of the Archduke on a pedestal with, at its base, two of his favourite paintings by Giorgione and Titian.

In 1623 the Bishop of Breslau, Archduke Carl of Austria, founded at Neisse a Jesuit college to which he gave a large endowment.
However, Leopold I signed at Vienna, 21 October, 1702, the charter raising the school to the rank of a university and obtained the papal confirmation for the decree.

Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Gallery (1647, 106x129cm; 741x900pix, 183kb) _ David Teniers, court painter to Archduke Leopold Wilhelm Hapsburg, the Governor of Flanders, and keeper of his very fine collection of painting and sculpture, made several of these gallery portraits.
Initially influenced by Adriaen Brouwer, Teniers abandoned his predecessor's truculent, anecdotal genre around the time of his death in 1638, going on to develop a much more refined style, vigorous, delicate, and full of verve, as well as a brilliant and clever painting technique distinguished by a very light brush and subtle coloring.
He was received as a Master of the Guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp in 1632-1633, becoming its Dean in 1645-1646, and in 1663 he became a founder member of the city's Académie Royale.
