The Oude Voetboog Guild in the Grote Markt

The Oude Voetboog Guild in the Grote Markt is a 1643 oil-on-canvas painting by David Teniers the Younger, in the collection of the Hermitage Museum, in Saint Petersburg.

[2] The painting was owned by the guild until 1649, when it hit financial difficulties and had to sell both this work and Rubens's The Crowning of the Virtuous Hero to the painter Gerard Hoet.

Both works later became part of the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel's collection, from which they were both looted by Napoleon's troops - Crowning is now back in Kassel's Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.

With over fifty people in the first and second rows, it is a guild group portrait, a popular genre in Flanders and the Dutch Republic between 1625 and 1650, the most famous of which is Rembrandt's The Night Watch, painted the previous year.

[8] Margret Klinge considered that Van der Branden's theory is unlikely due to a lack of documentary evidence, but agreed that the picture depicts an unknown parade, as well as adding the detail that the guild's dean was then also mayor of Antwerp.
