Thomas van Apshoven
Thomas van Apshoven was a Flemish painter-genre painter of the Baroque period.
Thomas came from a creative family: his father was the painter Ferdinand van Apshoven the Elder (1576-1655), who was a member of the Guild of St. Luke in Antwerp, and his younger brother, Ferdinand van Apshoven the Younger (1630-1694), was also a successful painter.
In addition to rural landscapes, Thomas van Apshoven painted very lively scenes of village holidays and everyday life, peasants in pubs, and students. His works are close in style to David Teniers the Younger (1610-1690).
