Portrait of Bishop Antonius Triest and His Brother Eugene, a Capuchin is an oil-on-canvas painting created in 1652 by David Teniers the Younger, now in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, to which it was transferred from Boris Alekseevich Kurakin's collection.[1]
To the right is Antoine Triest, who had been made Bishop of Bruges in 1617 and Bishop of Ghent in 1622. He was also a noted art collector and arts patron and bought works from Teniers and other Flemish painters. He is shown in prayer holding a rosary. To the left his brother, a Capuchin Friar, holds up a shield showing the five wounds of Christ, whilst the shelf in the background bears statuettes of Penitent St Jerome and Flagellation of Christ.
