Victor Mahu

Victor Mahu (born Antwerp, 23-10-1647 (church of Saint Jacob), fl 1689 - 1700) was a Flemish painter active in Antwerp who specialized in genre painting.

He is mainly known for his genre scenes of drinkers, card and board game players, dancers, musicians, peasants, cooks, and maids placed in tavern or kitchen interiors.

His father was the Antwerp-based painter Cornelis Mahu (1613–1689), who was a versatile artist who practiced in many genres including still life, genre paintings, and seascapes and showed a very high level of craftsmanship in his compositions.
