A pupil in Gerard Seghers' studio in Antwerp between the ages of fifteen and twenty-three, Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert was also close to Anton van Dyck, whose studio he may have attended. A painting by Van Dyck with a very similar composition was sold at Sothebys in 2016.
The composition of our painting is very close to the painting by Titian that illustrated this episode of Caesar's denarius, and Van Dyck made a version that is also close in composition and also illustrates this precise moment when Jesus is shown a coin: "Hypocrites! why do you want to put me to the test? Show me the change for the tax." They presented him with a silver coin. He said to them: "This effigy and this legend, whose are they? - The emperor Caesar," they replied. Then he said to them: "Render therefore to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." (Matthew, 22, 18-21)
