context_section_description: Daniels played a role in the development of the genre of garland paintings. Garland paintings are a special type of still life developed in Antwerp by artists such as Jan Brueghel the Elder, Hendrick van Balen, Frans Francken the Younger, Peter Paul Rubens and Daniel Seghers. They typically show a flower garland around a devotional image or portrait. This genre was inspired by the cult of veneration and devotion to Mary prevalent at the Habsburg court (then the rulers over the southern Netherlands) and in Antwerp generally.
  Garland paintings were usually collaborations between a still life and a figure painter. Daniels collaborated with other artists such as Frans Francken the Younger and Jacob Jordaens, who would paint the devotional images while Daniels painted the flowers and flower garlands in the picture.
  Together with Frans Francken, he further developed the genre of garland paintings, creating many special forms, among them garlands around medallions with the decades of the rosary.
  An example of a collaborative garland painting he made with Jacob Jordaens is the Garland of Flowers with Virgin and Child in the Hermitage Museum.
