Two Tritons at the Feast of Acheloüs, Attributed to Anthony van Dyck and Frans Snyders (c. 17th century)
This mythological banquet scene is a striking collaboration between two Flemish Baroque masters, Anthony van Dyck and Frans Snyders. The lively figures—likely painted by a young van Dyck—burst with energy and movement, while the rich, detailed still life of seafood and banquet fare showcases Snyders’ skill in capturing sumptuous textures and abundance.
At the center, two tritons present a lavish seafood feast, guiding the viewer’s eye toward a festive gathering unfolding in the background. This painting exemplifies the grandeur and drama of Baroque art, known for its dynamic compositions and rich detail.
Beyond its visual splendor, the work offers a rare glimpse into 17th-century Antwerp’s artistic community, where painters often joined forces—combining figure painting with still life—to create complex, multi-layered masterpieces.
