In 1640-ies the transformation of stylistic devices wizard. Now Teniers strives for simplicity, balance and clarity of the composition. In place of monochrome painting that dominates the 1630-ies, there comes a vivid, rich color with a golden tone. Later, in the 1650's, to replace the golden tone gradually to a more elegant, silver-blue. In the current decade, these artistic manner wizard will run until the end of life.
Representations of the Teniers of contemporary artist, genre painter put it in the Hermitage painting "Painter in his Studio" (1641). Arguing with colleagues, idealizes his appearance, he contrasts his character realist artists working from nature, but trust, above all, his vision of the world.
By the indisputable masterpieces of Teniers is "A group portrait of members of the Guild Rifle" Oude Voetboog "(" Old Crossbow ") in Antwerp, written in 1643. An important feature of the Hermitage's work lies in the fact that a group portrait (in the picture, there are about two hundred characters) is placed by the artist in the urban landscape, three-quarters of the space is occupied by architecture. Dominant architectural form is distinguished from the Hermitage canvas similar to the plot, but earlier in time group portraits by Frans Hals and Rembrandt, in whose work was dominated by portraits of the problem. To order Teniers the guild was the first great and responsible work, with which he coped brilliantly. Now placed in the meeting room of the building guild "Old Crossbow." Creating such a prestigious paintings nominated David Teniers the Younger in the first row of Flemish painters.
Reaching the pore peak, in 1646 the artist wrote a great, monumental painting "Kitchen" - another masterpiece of the Hermitage collection. Product synthesizes a household, the allegorical, portrait, genre and still life. The plot of "Kitchen" gave Teniers the opportunity to portray a single track at once an allegory of four elements. Land and water are fruits, poultry and various species of fish. Fire - brazier on the table and a fireplace. Air symbolizes the figure falconer with falcon in his hand.
In 1651 Leopold Wilhelm appoints David Teniers the Younger a court painter and curator Pinakothek. The Master and his family moved to Brussels, where he immediately starts to fulfill the multiple responsibilities. He has been involved in the acquisition of paintings, is a detailed inventory of works of art, plays masterpieces of the collection of the paintings. Leopold Wilhelm gave the image its Pinakothek members of the imperial family in Vienna and Madrid, thereby contributing to fame and popularity of the artist.
In 1651 at the request of Leopold Wilhelm Teniers going to England. In London, he probably saw one of three allegorical portrait by Anthony van Dyck Lady Digby Venice in the form of Prudence (c. 1633-1641 gg.). After this trip Teniers creates song "Allegory of Prudence, conquering earthly vanity." Moral and didactic motives are not unique to this painting masters. So, the theme of overcoming sensual temptations arise in the works of Teniers on the image of St. Anthony. Two Hermitage compositions based on the story "The Temptation of St.. Anthony iconographically, especially the image of them" evil forces "of witches, demons, fantastic animals, and go back to the works of Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516), but in their own way interpreted Teniers. If the image of the main character, created by Bosch, is endowed with courage and steadfastness of the spirit, the works of Teniers Hermitage St. Anthony gives the impression of a weak-willed, infirm old man.
