Bonaventura Peeters the Younger

He was a member of the Peeters family of artists which was active in Antwerp in the 17th century.

Peeters was a scion of a family of painters specialised mainly in marine and landscape art.

[1] A notarial act dated 8 October 1681 references a voyage by Bonaventura on the Dutch ship 'De Leeuw', which was part of the fleet sailing to Messina.

It depicts a wooded area in the foreground in which a man is walking his dogs while in the background it shows a river with two boats from which fishermen are casting their nets.

[3] A series of topographical drawings have been attributed to different members of the Peeters family, some of which also to Bonavantura the Younger and his father Gillis.
