## Commentary

Several small mythological and allegorical compositions executed in the 1640s can be ascribed to Thomas van Yperen, who became master in Antwerp in 1639-40. Both in their fluent pictorial nature and in the tensely emotive figures in their landscape setting, his paintings are unthinkable without the influence of the work of Rubens&#39;s last period.
