BiographyBiography: Pieter Meulener painted battle scenes. He was the son of the painter Jan Molenaer and for some time his pupil. In his youth he was also apprenticed to Sébastian Vrancx and he became a master in Antwerp’s Guild of St. Luke in 1631/1632. Meulener’s early works betray the influence of his teacher SebastienVrancx as well as of Peter Snayers, the latter in particular where his palette is concerned. After 1645 his use of colour became more distinct and in this period he was influenced by Pieter Palamedesz and Pieter de Neyen. His works have often been attributed erroneously to Pieter Palamedesz.
