Bacchanal1656Oil on canvas, 78 x 118 cm Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna | ||
In the 1650s Thomas van Yperen left Antwerp for the German-speaking regions; in 1656 he finally settled in Vienna, where he painted several religious scenes in a classicist style vaguely reminiscent of Rubens. The same style characterized his cabinet-size history pictures, also produced in Vienna, as for example, his Bacchanal.
