  • Theatrum Pictorium (El teatro de pinturas) es el título de una colección de grabados publicada por David Teniers el Joven en Bruselas en 1660, varias veces reimpresa. La obra está formada por una serie de 243 grabados de reproducción de otras tantas pinturas italianas de la colección que el archiduque Leopoldo Guillermo de Habsburgo había reunido en Bruselas durante su estancia como gobernador de los Países Bajos españoles, de las que Teniers hizo copias reducidas o modellos —los llamados pastiches— para ser utilizados por los grabadores entre los que se repartió el trabajo. La colección acompañó al archiduque a Viena cuando este renunció por motivos de salud al cargo en 1656 y acabaría constituyendo el núcleo fundacional del Kunsthistorisches Museum. La primera edición del Theatrum Pictorium, que puede considerarse como el primer catálogo ilustrado de una colección de pintura, llevaba prólogo en flamenco, latín, francés y español, para facilitar su difusión. Una segunda edición latina salió en Amberes en 1673, llevando, a diferencia de la primera, las estampas numeradas. Hubo otras ediciones posteriores, incluso avanzado el siglo XVIII. (es)

It was a catalog of 243 Italian paintings in the Archduke's collection of over 1300 paintings, with engravings of the paintings taken from small models that Teniers had personally prepared. A second edition with page numbers was published in 1673. During the years 1646-1656 Leopold Wilhelm was governor of the Netherlands and formed one of the greatest art collections of his age. Teniers effectively became its curator after the death of his predecessor Jan van den Hoecke in 1651. Leopold Wilhelm's collection came to hold works by Hans Holbein the Elder, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jan van Eyck, Raphael, Giorgione, Paolo Veronese and more than 15 works by Titian. Teniers made a list of the painters in the collection as part of the forward to his 1673 catalog: * * This list is an important document that reflects the contemporary taste in paintings in Brussels at that time. Of all the painters, the names Magdalena Woutiers and Madonna Fitta de Milano are the only women whose work is documented as being in the Archduke's collection. No matter how illustrious the name however, only works by the better known Italian painters were chosen to be engraved for illustrations. At the end of his governorship, the Archduke and his collection moved to the Stallburg. This archducal collection now forms the heart of Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum. Before moving to Vienna in 1659, Archduke Leopold Wilhelm formed his art collection in Brussels, where David Teniers the Younger painted views of the most prized possessions of his Brussels gallery. He painted several of these in various compositions which are now spread among various collections: * Gallery of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in Brussels (I) Staatsgalerie im Neuen Schloss, Schleißheim * Gallery of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in Brussels (Schleissheim), Staatsgalerie im Neuen Schloss, Schleißheim * Gallery of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm (Brussels), Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, 1651 * The Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Painting Gallery in Brussels, Prado * Gallery of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in Brussels (Vienna), Kunsthistorisches Museum * Gallery of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in Brussels (Petworth), Petworth House * Gallery of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in Brussels (Galdiano), Museo Lázaro Galdiano * Gallery of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in Brussels (Rothschild), Private collection * View into the picture gallery of the Archduke Leopold, by Nikolaus van Hoy in Teniers' catalog of paintings in 1673 Teniers employed a team of 12 engravers for reproducing the 243 paintings in the Theatrum. He produced small copies in oil of each of the chosen paintings, issuing these as models to his engravers and 120 of which were auctioned by the estate of John Spencer-Churchill, 7th Duke of Marlborough in 1886. Teniers’ painted copies measuring approximately 17 x 25 cm are now spread among various collections. The Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery holds 14 of these works, the largest group in any public collection. Of the 12 engravers, the five who contributed most were Jan van Troyen with 56, Lucas Vorsterman the Younger with 52, Pieter van Lisebetten 40, Theodoor van Kessel 27, and Coryn or Quirin Boel 25. Johannes Popels contributed five engravings. (en)
