Claim: Theodoor Boeyermans, who painted history paintings, was influenced by Rubens and van Dyck but retained a classicist approach in his work.
Evidence: Theodoor Boeyermans, Theodor Boeyermans or Theodor Boeijermans (10 November 1620 – January 1678) was a Flemish painter active in Antwerp who painted Baroque history paintings and group portraits informed by the tradition of Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck. His style was influenced by Rubens and van Dyck but he favoured a darker palette than those two artists. Even as a more expressive style was developing in Antwerp, Boeyermans retained a classicist approach in his work.
