Adriaen Thomasz. Key was a Duchy of Brabant Northern Renaissance painter. 27 works are cataloged here, principally at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, most of them oil paintings. Adriaen Thomasz. Key was born in Antwerp.
Adriaen Thomasz. Key (c. 1544 in Antwerp – after 1589 in Antwerp) was a Flemish painter of portraits and religious paintings, a draughtsman and a printmaker. He worked for a while in the Antwerp workshop of the prominent history and portrait painter Willem Key and later took over the workshop.
His work was highly regarded in his time for its technical mastery and innovative concepts and thus influenced a later generation of painters including Rubens.
