Jan Josef Horemans II Antwerp, 1714 – Antwerp, 1792 Festive Scene in a Backyard Oil on canvas 45 x 58.5 cm (59 x 66 cm with frame) Fine black wood frame On display at the gallery Jan Josef Horemans the Younger was an 18th-century Flemish painter. He is best known for his genre scenes, like his father. But his lighter palette earned him the nickname "Horemans the Light." His figures are always very well drawn, and his lively scenes have a great deal of charm, particularly because they realistically depict everyday life in 18th-century Antwerp, including its more cheerful aspects.
