The Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten van Antwerpen (the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts) is one of the oldest of its kind in Europe. It was founded in 1663 by David Teniers the Younger, painter to the Archduke Leopold Wilhelm and Don Juan of Austria. Teniers was master of the Guild of St Luke - which embraced arts and some handicrafts - and petitioned Philip IV of Spain, then master of the Spanish Netherlands, to grant a royal charter established a fine arts academy in Antwerp.
