Peeters, Bonaventura, I
(bapt Antwerp, 23 July 1614; d Hoboken, 25 July 1652). Flemish painter, draughtsman and etcher. He was the leading member of a family of marine and landscape painters. Nothing is known about his training; Andries van Eertvelt, whose paintings of stormy seas appear to have influenced Bonaventura’s treatment of the subject, may have been his teacher. Peeters became a master of the Antwerp Guild of St Luke in 1634. He shared a studio in Antwerp with his brother Gillis Peeters I (bapt Antwerp, 23 Jan 1612; bur Antwerp, 12 March 1653), a landscape painter, but spent the last years of his life in Hoboken, together with his sister Catharina Peeters (b Antwerp, 16 Aug 1615; d Antwerp, after 1676), who collaborated with him, and his brother and pupil Jan Peeters I (bapt Antwerp, 24 April 1624; d Antwerp, between 1677 and 1680).
