Peter Snayers or Pieter Snayers[1] (1592–1667) was a Flemish painter known for his panoramic battle scenes, depictions of cavalry skirmishes, attacks on villages, coaches and convoys and hunting scenes.[2][3] He established his reputation mainly through his topographic battle scenes providing a bird's eye view over the battlefield.[4] He further painted large landscapes and portraits of the aristocracy.[5] He was a regular collaborator of local landscape painters and also Rubens.[6]
After starting his career in Antwerp, he moved to Brussels where he worked for the court.[2] He was the principal military iconographer of the court in Brussels and the appointed court painter with the rank of lieutenant-colonel.[7]
