As he was sufficiently wealthy, he was not constricted by the need to sell his work, and even his late pieces retain a vigour and a power to shock that is lacking in the contemporary productions of his Impressionist colleagues.

The only trace of personal relations having existed between Teniers and Rubens is the fact that the ward of the latter
