It should be noted another area of the artist. In Flanders during the XVII century were popular images of church interiors. Teniers often wrote for them staffazh, "enlivening" figures of people, empty space. Hermitage "Interior of Antwerp Cathedral is an example of such work Teniers the Younger and Peter Neffsa (1620 - after 1675).
Pastoral scene is a kind of genre, are on display paired his paintings, "Shepherd" and "Shepherdess" (1650-ies.). Their characters seem to be young actors, dressed in theatrical costumes and skillfully performing their assigned roles. The charm of youth, delightfully transmitted by the artist, save here Teniers from appearing later excessive sentimentality in the treatment of characters.
Creativity Teniers completed a brilliant development of the Flemish paintings of the XVII century and in many ways anticipated the style of those artists of the genre painters beginning of the XVIII century (notably by Antoine Watteau), who worked mainly in small forms of painting. Legacy of Teniers is extremely large. The catalogs of museums and private galleries refers to hundreds of works by the artist.
