Theodoor Rombouts was a Flemish painter active in Antwerp in the early seventeenth century. He trained with Abraham Janssens and worked in Italy before returning to Antwerp, where he became a master in the Guild of Saint Luke in 1625. His paintings show the influence of Caravaggio and the Utrecht Caravaggists, especially in their dramatic lighting, half-length figures, musicians, card players, soldiers, and tavern scenes. He also painted religious and mythological subjects. Rombouts died in Antwerp in 1637.
