## Commentary

Thijs painted religious scenes for monasteries in Antwerp and for numerous churches in smaller towns and villages in Brabant and Flanders. He based his style on the later work of Van Dyck. It is possible that he came to this style under the influence of Van Dyck&#39;s earliest followers such as Willeboirts Bosschaert and Gonzales Coques.
